It's authentic and the price is too high in my opinion. Although the seller's photos aren't great, it looks to me like it has been previously polished. A nice condition full set for sure but not "new" either, as claimed.

Please let me and others know what is fake about the watch in question?
As far as what I see the watch is authentic, but the price is way too high.

As you point out many times, there is more than just "authentic" watch(item)that makes up a deal.
I think you support "Buy The Seller First"? No?

An unpolished example with box and papers will be between 7000-8000.
NOS will be considerably higher.

Adam, he used the word fake, and I wanted to know what was fake about the watch in question? As far as this seller, it's not a consideration with me due to the unrealistic price.
Adam, maybe you could point out what is fake about the watch?
