It sounds too good to be true; I'd be cautious.

From experience unless you can go and put hands and eyes on the watch I just wouldn't go there!

If you get it, let us know how it works out.
Maybe it has a VW engine inside it.

It's impossible to get that watch for that price, even dealers have to pay at least double that if not more for a 18238 something's wrong. Its worth that in scrap gold melted down. The movements worth at least 2000 grand, the band sold seperately 2500-3500 grand Scam.

I suspect the seller used photos of a (nice) real DD but that's not the watch you will receive...

Well, now we know where he got the photos.

Someone should offer to buy it but insist on meeting in person... with a baseball bat!

The seller of this watch is asking US $3,773 and has been "Blacklisted". May be the same seller.

Too obvious and too good to be true.
