What appalls me is the level of bullshit they've bothered to come up with in the description to fabricate a story and deliberately mislead people. Alludes to the possibility of a fake, provides some half arsed effort to prove it's gen then proceeds to cake it in disclaimers and no-backies.

At the time of writing, seven people have bought this story and bidded on this dhgate special with a current price of £1420 ($1940). There was even a bid of £8000 that has since thankfully been retracted.

Up to £7,600 now.

I always think there’s more to these than what they appear.

I find it hard to believe anyone would buy this so my guess is the bids aren’t genuine either.

Maybe some sort of money laundering scam.

u***5 is the shill bidder, he'll pull out and refuse to pay, next in line is the 'lucky' buyer.

I reported this as fake, and sent a message to the seller, got no reply.

Reported, seller went to great length to write the scam story about the rep watch.

No response from either.

Yeah I messaged the seller with the tells on the off-chance they might pull the sale but seeing as they've ignored us it's quite clear what the intentions are now.

eBay UK actually has a watch authenticity guarantee for watches sold over £2k. However, it looks like they've gotten around it by making it local collection only!

Finally either EBay or the seller has removed the listing.

"I ventured with haste to our local jewellers who had unfortunately closed for the day, but stumbled upon another jewellers who proceeded to take a look and having checked its weight and examined its face indicated the likelihood of it being genuine".


LOL.

I always weigh my watches before purchasing, it would be crazy not to.

I like to use my super-shitty and generally inaccurate food scale. See look, that puppy is gen baby!
