    A phrase of advice oft used here is "Buy the seller." If one item is a franken, maybe the rest are.
    A proffessional seller using BIN will almost always be overpriced.
    I am not an expert.

    yea spent some time digging up info on that third link. really liked case only to find out they didnt come that way originally :(

    the first two links from the same seller seems to be a dealer of some sort

    A second hand dealer. Nothing wrong with that, if he is trust worthy.
    Usually with autos, 2 pics of the movt are needed to show most of what can be seen. When only one pic is posted, I get suspicious.
    Watches like those are commonly FS on ebay. No need to rush. Search completed listings for past prices.
