Watch Scam
Some company out of Dallas/Ft.Worth area in Texas is selling watches on e-bay and ubid. They are selling these watches at a supposed extreme discount to MSRP. They attempt to prove it by directing you to a bogus website that advertises the watches to be $2000.00+. The websites are owned by this company and the sites are used exclusively to validate the claims on E-bay that the watches are fine timpieces at a drastic discount. Totally bogus!

Don't be surprised, Jason. Probably at least 25% of the watch sales on fleabay are scams or fakes.
It's the old story: caveat emptor, buy the seller, and always pay with a credit card that allows you to dispute the charge. That last has saved me thousands.
