Are the pics what you get?

Has good feedback. But, looks like stock pics to me - all 10:10 and no scratchs for a 4 year old watch. Description says " ... overall condition is good ..." Looks perfect to me by pics.

Looks like he did not grey out the rehaut engraving and the serial number shown on the rehaut is also an F. So it is the actual watch.

I believe the seller is just very good at re-finishing cases and bracelets. Check out his other auctions. The Daytona is a 2004 and looks like new. But you can see in the close-ups where the links of the bracelet have been refinished. So I'd say there is nothing wrong with this one.

Def looks like stock pics but don't get fooled by a clean looking watch. I just bought a 2006 sub and it looks brand new almost. Some people do take care of their watches.

That would be a problem if you see an "F" in the rehaut - the rehaut has an "M" serial number like the green hang tag.

I'm at the bar in the Casino. I don't gamble - my wife gambles enough for both of us.

I buy watches. When all is done and said I have a watch on my wrist.
