This Datejust looks ok to me. Better pictures would be ideal. He does have very good feedback on watch sales.

I agree that the watch does look good, but I'm always leery of bad photography on the bay, not that I'd buy a $7000 watch sight unseen.

Welcome to the Forum!

If you look at the sale of his previous big ticket items, pictures are not the greatest either. Thus it looks consistent with this auction.

Looks good!

Thanks for the welcome! I guess I still have a bit to learn on spotting the fakes! I usually assume fuzzy photos on a 7k item are little sketchy

We need all the help we can get. It is a learning experience for everyone.
