    I feel bad for this poor eBay bidder.

    I already reported this item, but I feel bad for the guy that's bidding on this if they don't catch it soon enough. Check this out...not even a good fake.

    Bell and Ross Heritage Black Dial Tan Leather Strap Mens Watch BR01-92 | eBay

    The band doesn't look bad, but I don't own this watch so I can't tell. Here are the two most obvious problems.

    1) I'm not a B&R genius, but did they ever make a BR01 quartz?

    2) It lists as a BR01-92 on the front, but a BR01-94 on the back. It's obviously not a chronograph.

    Even if I was going to buy a watch like this from eBay I certainly wouldn't get it from a guy with a 2 feedback rating.

    Maybe $1500 is the going rate for B&R fakes.

    I know...crazy huh? I like the fact that he calls it "STAINLESS STEAL QUARTZ MOVEMENT". He's definitely stealing from someone.

    They make a quartz in this watch, a BR03

    Correct, but I don't think they've ever made a quartz BR01.

    Correct and not correct. The only quartz 03 is the 88 which is an aviation watch that has a digital readout. Clearly a quartz watch.
    All of the others including the Heritage are not quartz!!!
    BTW, good ole serial no.555 is always a dead giveaway too

    Oh yea...forgot to mention that one. You would think they could at least pick some random number. LOL

    And there are no hex screws on the back...only imprints where they would go.

    I read elsewhere on this board that a give awaY is the & symbol between B and R not being centered with 12 marker. It is such an obvious flaw here. Why can't the maker get this part right even???

    Does reporting to ebay even do anything? I report a few fake watches a week and I've never seen one ended early, Including the horribly fake POC that sold for $2600.
