The seller seems to have some mixed results.

With a watch like this you should be 100% confident on all aspects.

The Paul Newman Daytonas sold on the used market are known for having imitation dials.

The photographs provided by the seller are unacceptable for a watch of that value. The white markings on the sub-dials look too new to me which suggests a possible re-dial.

The seller does not warrant the watch as being 100% factory original.

I don't get how a seller can try and sell a $5,000 watch let alone a $110,000 watch with a handful of blurry photographs.

Be careful.

Stevo's correct even with professional pics I wouldn't buy a watch in that price range without inspecting it in person.

Also it looks like there is some damage near the 1 O'Clock mark on the bezel.

Yeah, I agree, inspect in person, the seller should be showing photos of the movement, inside the caseback, and close up and detailed photographs of the dial.

A seller with 500 feedbacks who posts photographs like he does, should put you on notice right from the get go!

If I could afford to purchase a $110,000 watch, it wouldn't be through Ebay. I'd fly to the seller's location to inspect it in person.

Anything over 10k I'm flying and inspecting it myself. Too much money for photos alone.

IS the case supposed to be 14k? I thought these were 18k? Any why does it have a cheap gold plaque buckle on a $110k watch???

Hmmm...seems the Model # and year do not match. I do not understand why someone would post such horrible photos of such a wonderful watch. It deserves to be photographed professionally especially with that kind of price tag. It is way over priced, as it's on a leather strap and an gold plated buckle. At one time, I'm sure this had an 18K Oyster riveted bracelet.
