SCAM...here's the original thread that this scammer cut and paste from:

http://www.network54.com/Forum/207673/message/1409608246

Note the the copy and paste job from the bottom half of the original thread.

: I have for sale Rolex Explorer II ref. 16570 L-series (y. 1990).

: The watch was 1st serviced by Rolex Service Center in New York in
: 1995. The watch was also cleaned & detailed again about 10
: years ago (not by Rolex). At that time, the case was polished to
: resemble some of the "modern" Rolex watches. Since
: then, the watch has spent most of the time in storage. However,
: I believe that only synthetic oils have been used to lubricate
: its movement. Since these do not deteriorate like the old
: mineral oils, the watch still functions perfectly and keeps time
: well within the COSC specs (about +2s/day) on my wrist. Despite
: the watch being serviced in the past, the dial & hands
: appear to be in perfect condition (i.e. no damage, scratches, or
: stains of any kind).

: The watch will come with everything pictured:

: - The original Warranty / Chronometer Certificate (now expired)
: - Green warranty holder
: - Original hang tag
: - Both booklets

: Price is $4,400 USD. (Free shipping within the CONUS).

: Feel free to email me at p005us@yahoo.com with any questions that
: you may have.
