The warranty does not look like its photo shopped out, the serial number I mean. I have seen the fakes cards and they just have a first letter as they don't really have a full serial number so they just put the first letter as mass produce the same for all their fakes, it's too much trouble to change the printing press. Also no feedback selling, then selling this bidding.

Tricky one to call isn't it?

I'd request a close up photo of the serial card - to then see if he 'shops' the serial again or if it is indeed blank after the 'M' - which from that photo, I suspect is the case. Sooooo.. FAKE!

Whether the watch is genuine or not, you'd have to be totally insane to buy an expensive item from a seller with a '0' feedback rating.
