Seems to look ok ... but you can probably find a LV from one of the trusted sellers here for similar prices, it'll give you more piece of mind if it's from someone here with lots of references rather than from an eBay seller who you probably can't get references for ....

What you think a fair price would be for that if that were to purchasing?

The price on eBay is similar to the prices here, it's a very reasonable and fair price. He's not asking for too much, nor is he selling it too low that he does himself out of any money. I'd PM one of the trusted sellers here to see what they can perhaps do for you, their advice is free :-)

Good buy IMO, especially when you consider what the seller is going to pay in EBay and Paypal fees. A trusted seller probably would have asked around $7000 for the same watch.

About $7000; give or take a couple hundred dollars, what all is included, and of course the condition.

If you go to eBay to sell, use the fee calculator for final value fees and PayPal fees. You'll want to cover those costs so you don't lose out. If you ask 7K and get it, you'd be underwater considering your purchase price + recent service costs.

Other option is on TRF to avoid fees...
