Need help authenticating Explorer 2 please.

Saw this for sale on Craigslist and seller is also a member here on TRF. Just wanted some opinions on the authenticity please and thank you.

Perhaps the seller is honoring this advice from Craig's List: "Avoid scams, deal locally Beware wiring (e.g. Western Union), cashier checks, money orders, shipping."

pics are not good enough they show nothing, we need to see the band marking on the clasp on the inside of the band, hand stack etc.

Yeah, pics suck, lol. On a side note, if you were trying to sell something that expensive wouldn't you want the best quality pictures possible?

I'm doing great David. Hope all is well with you? I haven't got the band yet. 5K is a little bit more than I can afford right now. I'm not interested in buying the Explorer 2 just was curious as it was being sold by a board member who happens to live close by me but I not sure if it's authentic.
