R-o-l-e-x yachtmaster fullsize 40mm platinum 'f' series

issues: will only accept wire transfer and specifically excludes paypal also deliberately misspelling it so ebay does not pick up, suspect account and feedback, second hand on watch too short, it should reach past the second markers.

opinions??

Hmmm I'm putting this one down to a hijacked account, no activity since feb 08 last selling activity June 04, then avoiding PayPa1 :-)

If it wasn't for the not taking Paypal, I'd take a chance on this one as long as it didn't go over 4000 which it doesn't look primed to do.

$2.5k start off is real low, I'm looking around in case these are stolen pictures, with the lack of activity on this account I'm smelling a scam here.

THe wire transfer "only" fashion of payment should scare anyone away.

....if allowed a face to face transaction, that would be different!

Hi everybody, just came accross that listing on ebay as well and was about to post it here, something just does not look right, allthough the paperwork looks good, but what do I know. I was debating of getting in contact with him to find out but that he does not accept paypal is a bad sign.
