Wierd, dishonest, or just plain stupid? Hulk for sale...

This has been for sale for months now. Have a gander at this. I couldn't believe what I was reading. The more I think about it, the more shifty this bloke seems. A dial swap on a new watch? Water resistance? Warranty? Far out...

Looks like the stock green dial in the original configuration.

It's a mod. Can't really call it new anymore.

I must be blind but the dial still looks green to me

That occurred to me too, but hey I don't know shiite about Rolex so didn't say anything.

That's the problem. The watch looks like a stock Hulk, but if you read the description you come across this gem;

"Dial: Factory Black "Maxi" Dial. This dial was taken from a regular ceramic bezel Submariner. This watch originally had the green dial but we switched it to make it the modern version of the originally green Anniversary Submariner that had the black dial and green insert ref# 16610LV"

So, here we have a new watch that has had its green dial swapped out for a black one in order to make a home-grown version of a Rolex "classic". WTF? And to top it off, there are no pictures of said monstrosity, just some pics of a standard Hulk which is not the one for sale. I think I'll pass...

Buyer only has 5 transactions in the past year and suddenly has a dozen $5-$10k watches for sale? All unworn. WTF.
