    I think it recently discussed and the original seller (mick) already stated it is a scam and hijacked account.

    Interesting that this seller is also selling a car, with a phone number and address.

    The watch is of course fake, (this is the second attempted fraudulent use of the listing).

    But trying to interest ANYONE to do something about this is impossible.

    Ebay is not interested, but strangely nor are the UK police service.

    I have just called both numbers. The mobile is not recognised and the home number just rings and rings. I will try again later.
    I have also messaged the seller and informed them about the bogus listing.

    Dogs can have fleas, crap and puke on the carpet, bark at a squirrel at 5:30 in the morning waking up the whole house.... but we still keep them as pets. Unfortunately eBay is the best venue for vintage diversity.

    You're right, the police and ebay won't help much, if you do buy a watch online use a credit card as it is possible to do a charge-back under some circumstances.

    Like searching for diamonds or panning for gold. Put the time in to get the rewards.

    (a lot of glass and fools gold)
