Not unless you have 4.7K to throw away on a high risk gamble.

IMHO price seems too low to be credible.

I believe it its too good to be true, it usually is.

Watch could be legit, depending if the photo is of the watch and the history of the seller.

There are also way too many very close to the real thing counterfeit watches out there, you would need to see that watch form many angles to ascertain its authenticity. Seller should post more photos.

I would avoid such a "rush" sale, but I do agree with JF23, pick up would certainly work if it involves meeting at an AD.

Cheers,

Dave.

the price is not exactly too good to be true. several FS posts have GMT-IIC around that range.
But somehow this one feels like a bait.

I've seen many of his ads

He sounds okay, but in reviewing his pricing, he is quite high ordinarily. I would be wary.

I fail to see the great deal considering for just a few dollars more you'd get one from an AD?
