You should have asked this question before bidding.

It's fake and not a very good one. Look closely at the photos, even the bracelet links are falling apart.

You need to get out of this sale, and fast.

Whoa.You committed to this?
Authentic examples of these watches sell for somewhere in the $50,000 range. And this guy is willing to take $8K for it? That doesn't tell you everything you need to know?
Sorry for being harsh, but what were you thinking?

You paid $8400 based on those LOUSY photos.
Even the gloves puts me off.
Seller has little reputation.

Lets see if I can report and get it reversed

This is a pretty horrible fake. Don't continue wasting your time and go with a more reputable source!

Let's give a big round of applause to Gladiator (Adam), who saved the a** of a fellow TRFer from a financial disaster. It's selfless acts like this which make me proud to be part of this community.

Nothing get's by Adam... He is a one man wrecking crew for thieves and scammers. .



OP I have said it before and I will say it again. Ask one of us before doing anything at all as most of us despise scams or thieves. They taint our hobby among other things. This will save you headaches beyond belief.

I have never, ever paid to be a member of a forum before. However, after seeing these threads come up over and over again and members saving newbies like myself multiple times $40 is a very small contribution. Very happy to have found this group you guys are a class act.
