Gents,

This one is local. How does it look? Thank you

The seller is asking around a quarter of the market price. You don’t think that’s strange?

Check their seller feedback. Sold many "Thomas the Tank Engine" toys and nothing else.

Seems odd to say the least.

No pictures of box, papers, etc. If I were selling, I would show everything to remove any doubt. Its just an auction, so the 5K is the opening bid and will likely go up if any serious buyers come into the equation. If it were me, I would stay away due to my early comments and find one that seems more legit.

If it is local, go see it yourself and confirm everything. I have bought several watches from Ebay and everyone ended up being in person. Seller saves commission and buyer can see and inspect before purchasing.

Definitely a little strange.

I’d request to see pictures of the movement (and box and papers too).

I'd check it out in person if they are local to you. Otherwise, I'd be hesitant personally.

You never know you might be like that guy that paid $6 for a JLC watch in one of those cash converter stores who found out it was worth $35k :-)

Don't like there's no movement pic but the front looks genuine, but could still be a bait and switch at such a low start price.
