I still cannot post on Australia E-Bay site unless the watch is available to be shipped to the USA. It's frustrating so you AUSSIES have to report these with vim and vigor.

I'll let you know if I find any incriminating evidence like that same photo elsewhere, for now it looks good :-)

Cheers,

Dave.

the thing is, i ve asked if he could send me some photos of closeups, and the sellers response is "no i am sorry i don't,i did take some others but there not a1"

I am interested in purchasing the watch but am hesitant due to this response.

thanks

Jonno

Hi Jonno,

Mate, honestly if I received that message from a seller I would steer clear, the catch phrase mentioned on here many times is "would you buy the seller before buying the product?" in this case he's not going above and beyond to make a sale, and were not talking about a $20 used graphics card that might turn up faulty and you would write off that 20 bucks, its an investment of thousands.

If your anything like me and pop pennies away for a Rolex day (stuff the rainy day) would you be willing to risk the possibility this seller is being honest or maybe not.

Where abouts are you in AU, I won't be in Brizzy for at least a few months for business so I can't meet this seller face to face.

If needed I can contact the seller to persuade him to email me some more photos, with certain times and dates set?

Cheers,

Dave.

After he refuses to give additional pictures I'd steer clear.
