I realize that everybody has to start somewhere on Ebay, but I wouldn't buy anything (again) from a seller with zero feedback.

Yeah, I'm puzzled by it. I only do 50s & 60s, so don't know much about modern.
I'm working under the assumption it's dodgy, but if it is, I wouldn't say it's an obvious fake from pics alone. If it is real, I think you'd have to be mad to sell a watch of that value on eBay when you have absolutely zero feedback & no reserve. ![]() |

If it seems to good to be true, it is! Lots of bad sellers on eBay who want to rip everyone off!

Interested in what you hear back. What smells fishy is a seller who is so informed about a Patrizzi Dial but is so amateurish as not to show more details about the papers or close-ups of the dial.
These could be lifted pics - so asking for more pics might help... Puzzling for sure.

My first message to eBay watch sellers is always: "Whenever I buy a watch I always take it straight to a main dealer for a service, so if there are any 'issues', they'd quickly become apparent & I'd return the watch to the seller. With this in mind, would you be happy for me to bid, or would you prefer I pass on this one?" I've generally found that the dodgy types don't bother to respond to that, but genuine sellers respond very positively. Will report back if I get a response & then maybe ask for more pics... |

9 bids....there's a sucker born everyday. I'd guess lifted pictures but who knows.
I don't really know anything about pay pal claims, what's to stop a person from rolling the dice on this and if it indeed is delivered as a fake you can just get refunded through pay pal?? |

The more I compare those pics to definitely real ones, I reckon those eBay pics are a genuine example, the question is, would that be the watch he sends??? |

1. The dial was repainted but claimed original 2. It was a Tudor but the dial painted Rolex. 3. The caseback was swapped with a Rolex caseback. 4. The serial numbers were grinded off the case to avoid matching. Therefore the lesson I learnt is the feedback of a seller is only a guide. You need to research, research and research. (BTW, the seller is still selling.) |

It is quite difficult to prove what happened once several months were gone. I learnt a lesson and now only buy when I am absolutely sure. |
