"Buy the seller", before the watch. For the amount of money it takes to acquire a nice piece, I would stay with a someone trusted. Buy from someone with a track record rather than to risk a lot of money for a few hundred dollars potential savings.

Something to remember with an eBay purchase: The pix may be authentic, but what shows up in the mail (if anything at all), may not be.

A bad experience on eBay is what landed me on this board. Glad I came. I have bought several watches from a trusted seller since. Quite happy now.

Zero chance I'd be buying these things on ebay.

Someone with minimal feedback does not sell a Rolex on E-Bay.

the watch appears genuine but as others have suggested, always buy the seller then the watch....he might have yanked these pics from somewhere else and tried to pass them as his.

If that's not enough of a reason to walk away, I don't know what is.
