Hijacked pictures

I've looked at the pictures in these 2 listing over over and it looks like these are probably not the pictures of the actual watch. OJ at watchUwant has the same model watch for sale with the exact same pictures. The style of the pics are definitely similar to all the other listings on watchUwant.

That definitely looks like stolen pics from where I'm sitting.

Did you contact WUW about this yet?

I guess you could be right. However, i'm not sure why they would use a different name and there is ZERO reviews in the who's who's section though. Also, pretty sure WUW is in florida...they were the last time I purchased a watch from them. Govberg website says "since 1916" and one thing for sure is that OJ has not been alive since 1916 :) Finally, based on their respective websites the owners are 2 different people.

yeah. I only know that because the WUW guy who does the video reviews, I have seen him do Govberg reviews too so I figured there was a connection.
