Picture is terrible, but at that price and the fact that it's ebay....it could be anyone's guess!!

I wouldn't touch such offers with a bloody barge pole!!

the seller doesnt have much of a history on the bay so right away I would look elsewhere. If this was a toaster or a flashlight I wouldnt care too much about how much feedback/transactions a seller has......

Benz looks heavy on the hour hand. Fonts look heavy overall.

Looking at the real one (AD purchased) on my wrist, the slope on the crown guards looks wrong. It is hard to compare with such a poor pic....

I usually think ultra blurry pictures are a bad sign. I mean, my camera is OLD and not very good, but it takes way better pictures than that.

That logo does look too small too.

The seller has one feedback (as a buyer). He has one lousy picture (but he will e-mail other pics to prosective bidders). He started at a ridiculously low price.

This one screams FAKE

Looking at that first auction, it looks suspiciously like some shill bidding is going on as well.

his pics are very well timed, all the close ups seem to have the minute hand covering the "A" in submariner.
