Stolen BLNR on eBay?

So I was shopping around for a BLNR and came across this today. No box, no papers, no receipt, just looks suspicious. Are we allowed to ask for the serial to have it checked?

What is suspicious? I bought my gmt with no box or papers. That being said its priced way lower than should be expected.

Incomplete watch doesn't necessarily mean stolen.

Online from a non-watch dealer? With no warranty? His current sales of random small items like power tools and iPads makes it suspicious. Never the less can we ask for the serial? The opening bid is $7k doesn't mean it won't sell for market rate.

I agree with the above, never know could be okay.

If you want to see the serial #, zoom in on the second pic, you can make it out

Ah, thanks for reminding me. I forgot the serial is visable @ 6 on modern Rolex rehauts.

Well, I would not buy it based on those photos or description.
You can see basically nothing.

I'd be very careful in calling something "stolen" without any evidence at all.

I never called it stolen, I only questioned if it was.
