Ebay auction - thoughts on authenticity.

I found this on eBay as an actual auction. Chime in and tell me if you think this is real. I saw on one of the images on the engraved bezel partial SN# that matched the Warranty card.

All comments welcome!

Thank you for the welcome! Like the forum very much. There is a wealth of information here.

This sure looks real to me. I've seen other 'M' series being sold for $8K+. Any guesses if this will go that high. I'm thinking of putting in a decent bid.

Pics look good. Last sale 5 May 2010.

I would be very cautious.

His last sale was a big ticket item, also a watch.

Good for you to do your homework!

The watch looks good but in this case I would buy the seller. Do your research and make sure you can meet were the watch can be verified
Good luck and welcome to the forum

Looks like just a regular guy selling his personal watch.
If I were to post on eBay, my ad would look similar. I only have only a few hundred dollar sales, no big ticket items as well.
