Sorry OP, your money is gone (unless you can miraculously stop/reverse the wire).

I really don't want to rub salt in the wound, but it never ceases to amaze me how otherwise intelligent folks can bypass multiple blatant warning signs,
and/or fail to do even the most basic due-diligence before sending large sums of money to strangers over the internet, via wire transfer.

Here we have a relatively new eBay seller with 1 single seller-feedback rating for a low-dollar item, who uses stolen pics, and requests payment by wire.

Here is a current listing from the seller for another Submariner.

Here is a closed auction from a reputable seller using those same pics.

It took me all of about 30 seconds to find.

(Will be zapping the fraudsters listing shortly).


Again, sorry OP. Hopefully others can/will take heed.
Reported Good Work
