Michael, that's a photo of a photo from a Rolex catalogue.

I would have zero confidence in this transaction, kind of like how much feedback the seller has (1).

The guy spins a good story, but not one photo on what is a $30,000 watch. That doesn't just sound alarm bells to me it screams 'WatchOut!!!'

just my

You would not receive what is pictured, and if you did get a photo of a photo, i would want to be accurate and functional
