What do you think of this? Photos are awful...

Hi everyone,

I'm a newbie, so forgive me for asking this and/or breaking any conventions(!), but what do you think of this?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3705619504...84.m1438.l2649

Thoughts much appreciated!

Photos are bad for a reason. Awful.

The bracelet doesn't look right to me at all and there's a funny gold line in the cyclop...I'd stay away from it!

The good thing is that it will not sell at that price.

Thanks everyone

Thanks everyone for your help.

I have been debating about this watch. There seems to be a genuine story, but the bad pictures and the responses from the seller have really put me off e.g. no option of better pics. If I was local to the watch I'd look at it in the flesh, but as I'm not, it is a no.

[BTW the bracelet does look odd, as some mention, but I think it may just be a the way it has been photographed. The old style oval American 14k bracelets someimes look odd in 2D.]

You're right that it didn't sell at that price. It has been relisted again.

I would avoid that one looks way to creapy.
