Cash on collection not available.....
The photographs look ok, but I imagine you'll receive a different watch if you win the auction.
Furthermore, the sonata is a very complex watch. You'd not want to buy one sight unseen unless from a very reputable dealer/seller as the sevicing costs for one of these can be astronomical.
I'd avoid if I were you.

Peter,
Looking at the sellers' insistence of payment in full by Paypal prior to dispatch. I wouldn't be too convinced that I would be getting the watch shown in the images. It looks like the script and probably the images have at some point been copied from eBay US, as we don't use the term '18k white gold' in the UK, we use the term '18ct white gold'.
In short, you'd be daft buying this watch unseen from a seller who's only ever sold a pair of shoes for £11. Sure, you may have some redress with Paypal once the goods aren't as described (though this is limited I think). If it looks too good to be true, then it certainly is.
Could be wrong.......

PS. How's the Portuguese?

The images used are not showing up elsewhere, which is normally a good sign.
His user avatar is the same – not one of someone's facebook photos resized.
The concern is that all his purchases have been private, by the looks of it – no description of the items.
If I were seriously interested, I'd be demanding a contact number to have a chat.
Details of where and when the watch was purchased, and if abroad (so unable to contact the AD) then a letter of authenticity.
But even before that, I'd request a photo of the watch with his username and ebay listing number written on paper – I'd want the rear showing the movement and rotor.

Agreed, obviously depending on the final price.
If sub £2K, and everything above being met, then no problem with posting.
If a much higher selling price, then absolutely a face-face meeting with bankers draft and a flight/long drive to his locale.
All said and done, it does smack of being too good to be true – so if it is, then it's obvious the chap has put a considerable bit more effort into his scam than is typically the norm.
Reported anyway, with a link to this thread, so it'll be up to eBay to decide if the listing stands or goes due to being a bit fishy.
