Not real this one is it?

I say that as I have a "Malaysian Market Special" that I bought while over there on business, and have ever since wanted the real one. (Dont start with the flaming, it was £28, and the seller looked like he needed the money too!)

Not sure, the picture is more box than watch. I like the £90 'economy' delivery from Ipswich.

Zero rated seller, selling a £20k watch without reserve and asking £90 to deliver.

There's more chance of Finland winning the world cup than this deal coming to a satisfactory conclusion for the buyer.....

The pictures look genuine enough, but obviously you can get those anywhere on the net. The auction wording & lack of description & zero feedbacker clearly points to a scammer..run a mile.
Never quite understand how people ever go for things like this at all, blatantly obviously well & truly dodgy

I wonder if the scam is the delivery charge? IE Paypal refund when goods arrive and are made of lego, he agree's refund but keeps postage fee?

I am just 2 miles from Ipswich though, for my sins, so have asked to come and look at it, no reply yet. Or maybe just a bored millionaire with too many watches......unlikely in Ipswich.

When you look at the bid history, the first ten bids are by people with less than ten feedback, I reckon this guy is bidding himself etc.

the goons at eBay should prevent noobs and 0 feedbackers from selling anything higher than £50...

No, it's a genuine watch for sure. However anyone bidding on it with those pictures and the sellers feedback does need their head examined.

I suspect you'd be better off looking at one from this seller........

That ebay watch, genuine or not, screams dodgy to most astute buyers.

Just asked the seller a question.

"What number is it out of the limited edition? i.e. ***/500"

I thought that this was fair, and a real seller would know the answer.

Any bets on a reply (or the question gets published on ebay?

Most people are shy about giving out serial numbers in the strange idea that it helps avoid them 'cloning' their watch. Which is just retarded. However, it's still a genuine watch.

Wasn't the serial number I wanted Rich, just the limited edition number.

Example from the ad on PH linked above: There are 500 pieces available worldwide of this edition and this is number 315.

Surely if you have (possession of) a limited edition you should know this and not mind sharing?

Genuine or not, I expect it wouldn't withstand hitting a wall.

(Bad taste?)
