It's probably real, but I'd hesitate to buy a $20 strap from a seller with that feedback rating, never mind a white-gold Sub.

Buy the seller.

If it is not a scam I think he takes a huge risk selling this watch without a reserve, when he has a feedback record like that. As a seller he has a feedback score of 50%.
Does he have to sell the watch to the highest bidder, even if the price is a tenth of what the watch is worth?

I agree, I'd look elsewhere.

He also has a Daytona listed. Very suspect, you figured as a seller of two watches you would see the same type of backdrop for the watches. I do not see it here. Also look at how he "whites out" the serial on the sub versus the Daytona.

This does not look good.

Nice observation.

If it's too good to be true.....(you know the rest)

I'd stay far away from this seller.

I sent him a mail asking if I could buy the watch F2F with cash if I came to Miami. (Item location). His answer was: "you would have to come to Utah"
Could this be a hijacked account? In that case he should have chosen a better account :)

Not really, he could have established his Ebay account in Florida.

"Full link M serial" - shouldn't the WG sub's have a newer serial #?

Something seems fishy that he'll let these go fro way below the REAL price of them.
Also, his auction states that he needs them gone TODAY, but the auction is lasting 7 days.

Stay away .. is what I would do.

He also sold a 1655 Steve McQueen Explorer last night on eBay... I was trying to buy all three watches, but got a leery feeling...

Run the opposite direction! This could be from a ROC.
