It could be,
You need to get some better photos.
You need to see the back of the watch.

They are £23,50 over here in China if you want a few '

And look exactly like that one.

vette

Maybe I'm super cynical, but every time I see a sob story on E-Bay about some family member or other, I immediately smell a rat. That coupled with the convenient lack of papers would have me running a mile from bidding on this.

I also concur with the above, sob story etc. Anybody buying a watch like that even a novice would hang on to the box

This in any case, but the quality is piss poor too.

I would guess that not all bidders are genuine?

It is a fake

I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole!

Looks very fake. The UPH bezel should have the 60 at top dead centre, not offset. The quality of the number stamping on the bezel looks poor. And the crown and pushers are not as the original watch. The fit of the "shoulder" piece between the lugs also looks second-rate. Given all the other suspicious factors, I would avoid.

For £2,250.00 someone will only get trapped by their greed.

Thanks guys, only asked because its just up the road from me, looked like a st copy to me, i will warn him off, wonder what mug has bid on it already, shame you cant warn the bidders like you used to be able to.
