If he starts to make excuses about why he can't send you certain photos, that is going to be a red flag. I also don't understand why certain parts of those photos have been blurred. It's a bit suspicious. You may want to confirm that it isn't a scam and that he actually has the watch.

No. Tudor MNs generally do not have serial #s inside caseback. There are other things but not the serial.
