As we've talked about this before....I guess..

the bidders haven't taken a very close look at the watch. Dial is incorrect/fake for starters. Never made a "T SWISS T" for this model...or the 1680...or the 16610. Should be SWISS-T<25 or a service dial.

I believe the seller to be sincere, but the dial got switched...

somewhere along the way. A "civilian" wouldn't know the difference AND would not be aware that a correct "matte" dial for this watch will fetch up to $1000 by itself in good shape.

There is two ways here, contact the seller, let them know then they may or may not take action, or intervention. the amount of money is enough for the latter.

Welp...I told the seller the dial was wrong and he did his....

research and came back to me that it was real as they made many different dials for this watch....His mind was made up.
