Looks to me like a counterfeit C2 rower

Listed just today. Is this a common thing? Be careful out there...

(Most obvious things to me are that the PM and handle are wrong, but surely there are other giveaways.)

I wonder if the seller even knows that that's not a C2 product?

Many machine manufacturers imitate C2's mechanical design (sort of, they typically mess up key mechanical properties and the monitor), but they put their own brandname on it.

This is a fake machine. The stickers are wrong, as indeed are the monitor and handle.
