2002 GMT - or is it?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=270515691833

Apologies if this is real and any of you are the seller .... but what do you guys reckon? Blurred picture, limited information and a box that looks suspiciously like the ones the replica sites pump out. I'd love to know what you all think. I was going to bid on this watch before reading this forum, but now I'm not so sure ....

I would want to satisfy myself by going to see the watch in person but Kent is quite a few miles from my house.

You can't really tell much from the photos. The guy has zero feedback, so tread very carefully.

I would get this seller to take a photo of the watch set to a certain time and date with his user name on a bit of paper on the same bed :-). the size of those photos are too small even for the javascript eBay window, not standard, and I would say not his.

if i were selling that there would be a lot more text and description with at least 10 photos!
no effort has been made by seller
i would walk away
buy the seller first

if you are going to look at it get a landline number to call him on and make sure he hears you when you tell him you will only have a £50 deposit with you.

there has been a few robberies lately when people go to buy cars and such like and end up out of pocket £5k because they just happen to get robbed in the street where the car is advertised from

Thanks guys. Yes my thoughts were along the same line. I have given this one a wide berth. Funnily enough he didn't reply to any testing questions I put to him either, so left well alone!
