Something in my gut...

is suggesting perhaps something is not quite right here. I can't quite put my finger on it--the sense that I've seen these pictures elsewhere, the seller has never sold anything like this seemingly amazing full set 1655, what appears to be a vintage PN casually in the left corner of the main picture....I sent an email asking about the Rolex service papers mentioned in the description (they aren't pictured) and the response was they are included in the sale. But I got no response to a follow up request for pictures of the estimate and service warranty. This could be totally legit--and seller does say local pickup is okay...but still have a nagging feeling so I thought I'd mention it here.

This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available

Maybe your query had an impact - hard to believe he coincidentally and conveniently sold it overnight in Tallahassee...

My hunch was he would pull the listing if a real local buyer actually wanted to show up....and he was hoping an out of area buyer would bite.

Yep... plus I still can't get past the Paul Newman Daytona just lying there casually in the upper left corner of the photo. I mean what are the odds that seller has both those watches???:bang head: Possible I suppose but not likely

And again reserving the right to cancel if a local sale occurs. I'd wager stolen photos.

That's what I thought too. The watch looks legit.

photos look stolen. I can't tell from where but the background looks familiar to a seller on this forum. Also look at the recent purchases he's made...all cell phone cases and now 20-50k watches? uhhh yeah right...
