First time Rolex Buyer eBay help

Hi guys
This is my First Rolex purchase.... Please help
http://www.ebay.com/itm/261019262984...9#ht_500wt_922

Should I use paypal or wire transfer?
What should I ask the seller before I pay. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated!

WELCOME TO THE FORUM!

This listing has ended and the purchaser has quite a bit of feedback, so hopefully they know what they are doing. That is a great price, if this is legit. This seller has sold big watches in the past. His last sold item on the Bay was November 2011.
I doubt the pics are of the actual watch.

This must be paid with Paypal for protection and/or face to face transaction.

The first red flag is that he's showing photos of two different watches. Mixed high resolution and camera phone is another red flag. My bet it's he doesn't have the watch at all, and if so, it's a fake.

Also showing an 18K Gold Clasp ...
Something is seriously wrong.
I won't go through with it unless you go pick up personally and inspect.

This one looks like a scam listing.
