Do not bid if you don't plan on playing for it...

Wow, either this is a fake or it's a heck of a deal! But with those phuzzy photos, who could tell?

Appears to be ok. Most of his other auctions have the same bad pic's. A lot of these guys start the bidding low so people will bid. They usually have someone else bid it up higher if it's getting closing to ending and not at their anticipated price. Hey it's a pawn shop

Probably a typo, the hologram is 169622.

I agree the watch is likely genuine. The bad pictures and typo would scare most knowledgeable buyers away.

Last auction...

...the watch, if the buyer had paid for it, topped out at $3,451.

Watch looks OK, pics are bad. Lady's model. Feedback rating is an issue for me

Thank you! That big brute was photographed and quickly returned to the bay. I am a big believer in catch and release, unless it's a Rolex watch!

Soon it's going to be time to fire up the Yamaha 175 and get out there in God's country and do some fishin'!

Morning, Dave. I just checked and bidding is already over $2,000 and there are still six days left in the auction. Not one to buy anything used (except Porsches, I've bought plenty of those!), I'll may just watch the watch and not buy. It'll be interesting to see how it goes.

Have a great day & weekend!

I think this may fetch a good price, be interesting to see what it gets up to :-)

Porsches hey:-) the last one I owned was a 928s4 :-) that was a few years ago now, I miss it, one day I'll grab an old 911sc :-) love the old look :-)

Have a great weekend too
