    How so?
    If we're to help prevent anyone getting their eyes wiped, you need to explain what makes it stand out as a non-genuine article.

    Anyone who thinks this is genuine has never seen a speedy

    The two dots at the top look wonky and I have not seen a clasp like that before....

    Is it just the angle of the image, or do some of the bezel numbers run off the edge also..?

    That's pretty rough, dial spacing is wrong and the clasp is weird too.

    Tachymeter is all over the shop. No space worth mentioning between T and A. Or the E and R

    Dial spacing is a good one to look for. On the real ones, the dials are so close they almost touch. The fake movements don't allow this so they are always a little further apart.

    That's what I've read, anyway!

    Does anyone know how many people need to report the listing for eBay to take action?

    Anybody notice the 0-30 subdial where the 0-60 subdial should be, and vice versa :) Shoot the fugger into space!

    Rare limited run dial made for fake market with rare clasp.
    Nothing seems normal here,

    Have a look at where the numbers at the top of the sub dials are placed?.

    I haven't, and no doubts some potential buyers haven't either – just know what one roughly looks like, which is probably why it works out for the scam artists.

    That is quite horrible. With pretty much all the writing all over the place you'd think the guys in the factories had to sit there applying little stickers or something.

    Yes, I'm not at all sure that clasp is actually the one on that watch that's photographed - it looks a lot like some nasty cheap Seiko-ripoff.
