It directs you to another site for purchase/bestoffer...

The watch is not new, it looks genuine, but not new. Note the outer part of the lugs are rounded from polishing. The seller is a definate fake with "0" feedback and a used watch being sold as new.

...we will...

...have to have Terry report this one by PHONE. When you click on the report item, it also takes you the alt web site.

SCARRRRY STUFF.

THIS NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION.

Err buddies...it's possible that this eBay listing has been hacked...!

We are not dealing with 2 bits good-for-nothing Newbie Seller...
We could be dealing with a sophisticated pro-scammer...but equally good-
for nothing Seller...

Also reported to an E-Bay contact. Let's see what happens to this one. It is the weekend which may make it impossible to get it reported this weekend. I have a way to do it though which may make it disappear.

I did get it reported to E-Bay through another route. When you want to report a watch like this you put up another sale item, hit report it now, paste the item number of the offending item over the number of the watch whose report you were going to make, then report whatever is wrong with the watch.

I did report it to E-Bay using this method so let's see what happens.

I was able to save it in my; "Watch It Now" section in spite of the redirect. I will be able to see when it disappears.

Orchi:

Like I stated; you click on the number of the offending item and hit copy in the title bar, you bring up another sale item and hit report it now, when the item number comes up in the report section you highlight it and hit paste in the title bar edit feature, the item number is replaced with the item number of the offending item. It directs E-Bay to the offending item only.
