This Seamaster offered here is mine and in my posession.
Dead Link/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/283615993854

I bought it last year from @Cuttysark , pictures are stolen from him, think even somewhere here from OF.

Report the guy.

You only need the item Id, should work with any Ebay site/Language.

What is up with this. This is the third time I’ve seen someone post watches they own being sold by an unknown scammer. How does this take place? You pay and they send you nothing or they send a fake one?

Looked like it was, with a certain risk involved to receive a rock!
The actual SM300 advertised is currently in Paris for a Service 😀

Whatever you get send or not, your Money will be gone for good. I think it was a hacked account. Yes be careful.

Thank you @mr_yossarian !
Please keep this rule in mind:
When you see a seller with 1 or 2 feedback in the last 12 months selling from Italy with a very good price, payment with bank wire and only english written description is 100% SCAM!!

I've seen lot of vintage watches this year on Ebay with this type of scam.

Would anyone actually wire money on an eBay sale? That defeats the whole purpose. Well I guess if the scammers put it up someone somewhere along the lines did.

In the past I bought a 145.022-69 on Ebay and paid it with wire. I was scaried about it but the watch arrived safe and in the same contidions of the description.
I agree with you that is hazardous..

I had an experience with a similar Italian seller with a nice UG Nina - given the amount involved, I said I would be happy to fly to Italy from the UK with the cash and meet at the airport to exchange for the watch, as a cheap flight was only £100 return... I never heard back from the seller...
