buyer beware

More than likely a stolen picture of a complete Rolex box set. Then next three pictures of the alleged watch are probably borrowed as well (in the background an older Rolex box). Problem is, the watch and box set are never pictured together. "Zero" seller, and nice gesture to add a "charity donation" to the listing in an attempt to add credibility.

Most likely something wrong here .. now how to prove it is another matter .
Donation to the American Red Cross .. hmm Australian listing .. I'm sure the Red Cross is represented in Australia too , no ?
The watch itself is brand new with the stickers still in place . I'm not sure if that is an old style box on the background it could be the document holder .
Let's try and see if we can locate the source of the pictures
