I am torn ..

on this one,some things jump out at me as incorrect,-but then I look again and I think,well maybe..what say you all?
the size of the crown looks a bit peculiar,the crown guards do not look tapered enough.the gold surrounds appear to fat.then to top it off the seller will not accept paypal "for this auction"
why??if its real there should be noithing to worry about.right..

Someones's about to buy a $500 fake.

Why it looks suspicious:
  • Case it too fat, looks like a current GMT case.
  • For having an OK camera, he was able to capture the crown on the crystal from far away and then pointed this "fact" out in the description of the watch.
  • Won't accept paypal, basically takes some form of cash (no recourse).
  • Price is suspiciously too low.

"A fool and his money are soon parted."

Good catch Steven!

I don't believe this auction is real at all. This watch should go for thousand's of dollars and not $500.00. The winding crown looks like a glue on job.
