Thoughts on this Root Beer?

ebay 250191064947

Auctions like this scare me. They could be an elaborate story, or they could be the odd estate sale.

Watch appears legit. An old nipple brown dial TT-GMT with rolled link bracelet. However pic's are terrible and out of focus. I would stay away. But the auction was finished early anyway. Hope the new buyer off-Ebay didn't get taken.

For high ticket items, I would only go with auction linking to a physical Retail store with lots of Rolexes in stock. It's safer.

I wouldn't buy it, certainly not without a lot more info from the seller. The photos are horrible. The details are sketchy.

The price is within the ballpark, but I'd be leery of this sale without a lot more info and a whole lot better photos.

I bought mine on eBay, and love it (after doing a great deal of homework on it first)!

You cannot even see the watch or the dial. Somebody must be a complete idiot to buy this watch
