The box should not be your problem, the watch looks fake from those pics. I would pass.

It's quite hard to tell from the photographs but I would recommend you pass on the watch if you are not able to inspect it in person.

to me the watch looks genuine- no doubt. But if you are not comfortable then don't bid.

I know but i was trying to say (nicely) that he should ask questions before buying and wasting the sellers time.

I have always been partial to having a phone number to talk over a high end item when I am looking to buy. Once you have the phone, you can look them up on the web and see if they are somewhat legit. Isn't foolproof method but it sure has helped me meeting some great people and buying some nice watches. Just my opinion and hey wouldn't it be worth a 10-15.00 international phone call if need be to save thousands?

JJBROTHERS,

Welcome to the forum. The pictures on the listing are not the greatest. If I am doing the conversion correct on the Daytona, you are buying this watch for under $4,000. This is too good to be true. If you have not made the payment, and you are local to the seller, I recommend going to a local jeweler to verify the authenticity.

Wish you the best on this one...

Let us know.

The box and papers look genuine, I have seen good quality counterfeit papers but most lack the raised swiss chronometre seal, the hang tag looks like a well known fake, it may be one of the super high end fakes with the swiss valjoux 7750's that were circulating a while back. I have seen fake hang tags on authentic watches, authentic tags on fake watches

You people are truly amazing, you ask questions AFTER you buy ..... WHY! YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A LEGAL AGREEMENT AND COMMITMENT TO PURCHASE.. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS?

By the way 4,000 Pounds Sterling is about $5,900 USD

Totally Agree with you, Ask question before buying,

Also, If you have a doubt, then you would probebly be better off finding another one, usually the guts feeling is pretty dead on
