We often talk buy the seller here, and this is a prime example. It could be either a bargain, or more likely, a frausdter who has circumnavigated Paypals certificate of posting rules. (As has happened to me - a forged certificate of posting was presented, and voila, $1500).

I cannot believe that this is not on all the 2998 hunter's watch lists already, but what do we think?

Is the seller legit? Last sale (a year ago) for a phone. I think its a stolen ID.

Very brief description. - and yet refers to unpolished.

Nice looking watch, but i wonder if someone here recognizes it?

Here is the photo:

 

Anyone here close to Surrey? Maybe drop by and see if Lloyd is home and enjoying his Speedy?

 

I emailed the seller yesterday. No response yet. Weak description, no pictures -- I was curious but cynical. I've never seen this one before.

 

I can't believe that a fraudster would give his name, address, phone number and e-mail details.
I'm going to see if the phone number is real right now.

 

I don't yet recognize the picture but there was a bogus 2998-6 EBay UK listing last week. This could be as well.

I can't get a ring tone from my mobile or landline.
William was right to be suspicious.
Well spotted oddboy.

 

Odd Boy to the rescue

 

This was on my red-flag list with the previous eBay listing and:

It was the one with the missing screws.

Edit to add our previous discussion:

ohhhhh, now i recognize the watch (and the original seller). it has some decent lugs, too bad. nice investigative work, guys.

 

When in doubt always ask for pictures of the watch with the time of your choice....

 

And it's gone.
