Bogus. more than likely a hijacked account. The guy has 100 percent positives selling books for goodness sakes. Poor sap.

Jeff, I think you may be correct. I will shoot him an email and see if he responds.

Maybe his brother, cousin, wife or watchmaker listed it thinking it was real.

Anything is possible Pav. I say we give the guy the benefit of doubt as he has great feedback and he sells books too!!!!! Maybe he is just busy and didn't notice it is fake. Where is the love brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr. Springer,

you sarcasm is well noted. And funny too!

But seriously, if they guy is selling fakes he should be shut down. But if his account was taken over then he DOES deserve to be notified and not be accused of anything.

I would hope that if ebay takes down this awful watch, that they contact him and find out what happened.

Again, the watch is clearly a fake and needs to be taken down.

Jeff

Its gone.

I did not hear back from seller.

So ebay did the right thing and shut down the auction.
