I'm assuming shilling.

Given the bid history, I would assume that is the case.

Maybe a dumb question - but what does that mean?

If you look at the bid history someone (normally a second, third or forth account held by the seller - note in this example it is the 2***7 user) is bidding to increase the price in a very short time frame.
It's done to make people think the watch is special, FOMO. If the seller ends up winning the watch with their second account (ie they are not very good a shilling) then they will cancel the sale and relist the item.

But you can't bid against yourself, right? If you are already the high bidder, increasing your bid just raises the maximum you are willing to pay. It doesn't show up for other bidders until they try to outbid you.

I believe the way it works is that the seller needs at least 2 accounts but ideally. 1 to hold the sale and 2 to inflate the bids against one another.
Now it may be that those bids are genuine but it seems quite odd on that watch. The only remarkable thing that I can see from it, is that the dial is very similar in design to a 5196G. That said, I dont know too much about pre WWII UGs.

·Sorry guys but I think that this is not correct.
I putted some watches for sale in the past and always happened to have some morons doing lot of stupid offers in a short period of time.
I don't know why. What's the point to do 10 bids of 2€ of difference each?
But anyway it always happens.
At the same time, if I have multiple accounts and want to be dishonest, isn't simpler to just put an hidden "reserve price" with that, then putting 20 stupid bids and ruining my auction? Just my 2 cents.
I am not affiliated in any case with the seller. I am just speaking for my own. I just think that it's not fair to reach hasty conclusions.
