For some reason it greatly offends me.

The watch seems to have no flaw, but it looks like a cheap fake. Terrible photographs!

Joma is one of the grey market dealers I have confidence in. There's no way they're selling fakes on ebay. I Was actually talking to them about a 6.75 until George quoted me a price that was so close only a fool would have passed it up.

Fairly telling that this piece made it to the grey market so quickly. The AD that sold it couldn't have had much confidence in their ability to sell it.

I doubt it's fake, but they're not exactly careful with the stats they show. They're advertising it as having the standard Chronomat 01 water resistance of 500m, when the LE only has 200m (which their pic clearly shows). They're also showing the Evo case diameter of 43.7mm, as opposed to the 01 case diameter of 43.5. The latter is a minor difference, but the difference in WR is pretty significant. It's a great price, but in this case not having a factory warranty is a real drawback, given how few people are qualified to work on the 01 movement.

the pearl of the B01 always reminded me of cheap fakes, whit stange looking pictures as these ones, the pearl even look worse, the color of the brushing also looks strange

but i believe its a real watch, just an ugly one, from the kind of red strike fever

i wonder why they didnt made a blacksteel of the B01 heheh
