Well I just spoke to an auction house local to me that specialises in watches and they said that they can do an external check to verify authenticity in terms of the serials on the usual visible places matching the warranty card (which they do on a regular basis to verify all of their watches), but they can't open it or it would void the warranty. I guess I can also do this serial check with a magnifying glass but I will definitely take it to them for a confirmation.
If that basic check fails then it is returns-ville for the watch. If that check passes then I guess my only real issue would be if anything had changed inside the watch.

Has anyone looked up the seller on ebay? Looks legit to me. They sell a lot of jewels, Tudors and other watches. Probably no scam at all. I hope OP made a bargain here :)

Check out the feedback! I guess it would take a lot of work to create that amount of fake positive feedback. Donīt you?

It is not that seller at all and I am not going to post the seller because I have zero trust for the internet or that some crazy loon would not contact that seller. If that sounds paranoid then so be it, but my several decades of dealing with people on and off of the internet have certainly made me somewhat guarded.
When the watch arrives I will update the story and keep you guys posted.
