    Ok people. I won this in a auction at ebay at EUR 505. I thought it was worth a gamble. Looked like a 2852 with arrowhead markers and a fix o flex bracelet. Turns out that the seller does not have PayPal so he wants me to pay banktransfer. I was going on two crappy pictures. Leave it or gamble?

    Sound like a scam, way too cheap. No way would I pay bank transfer.

    I think not having a PayPal account is a poor excuse. If you can sell something at Ebay, getting a PayPal account shouldn't be a problem. If you don't want to is another matter....
    Buy the seller! Any previous sales? Feedback?

    As far as I know, the standard eBay buyer protection does not apply if payment is made via bank transfer so there is some added risk to consider in addition to the authenticity of the watch.

    Nada. Nothing. But it's a 3g phone so maybe a old, poor man in some village tucked away in Germany... :) And buying the seller... well, then you always pay premium. I bought a lot of omega's with crappy pictures. Sometimes crashed and burned but sometimes a medium grail...
