There is also another variation of the scam where the "buyer" will say he has sent funds, and you will then get a confirmation email from PayPal showing the deposit. However, the link/site in that email is not legit, and goes to a spoofed PayPal site.
The scam works on the premise that you will send the watch out before realizing that you don't actually have the money in your real PP account.
