It is highly suspect but anything is possible. POOR picture.

Seller goes from selling razor blades to a Rolex and gold chain.

Local viewing and purchase on this one only to consider the purchase...

I'll call it 100% fake... considering the seller has a $100 watch also up for grabs with 3 nice pics, including a close-up.

Good point. I'll go with high probability of being fake.

if you look closely you will see that the bracelet is not on the watch
the end links are touching the case but reversed, and you see the wings of the end links.

The seller did mention that her husband almost always wore it on another type of strap, so I'm assuming that the band was rarely worn and was likely off and they didn't have the tools or skill to put the band back on.

Doesn't answer other questions but can at least explain that one..

I am not so sure.

The seller does state " It's on a stainless steel band but not the original"

Which explains the unusual end piece look. They also state

"He usually wore it with a velcro band and a jeweler once told us that that is why the edges and numbers are still so crisp - the velcro didn't cause any wear"

Also true and unlikely that a scammer would know or mention this......

The one poor picture looks good to me and imo is certainly not good enough to invalidate this listing.

But, as always.....Caveat emptor.....
