Low feedback but 116610 for 3000$

I don't know why, but something just feels suspicious about this listing...
I really feel like I have seen these pictures somewhere else
Also, no return and no previous sales on e-bay

Trust your gut feeling! If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

It's also an auction and final price isn't set yet.

There's 5 days left on the auction. No red flag on the price, thus far. Now if you have seen the pictures before, and feel it's a fraudulent listing stay away......

I agree, but I can't seem to shake off the feeling that I have seen those pictures somewhere else...
The watch being an US issued watch doesn't help too much.
Also, the wall-plugs seen in one of the pictures are not European, and the seller is. He is located in Bosnia.

Too good to be true...better not get burned

I'm sure I will get blasted by eBay sellers, but think: this is eBay. Why take the risk? Buy from TRF and at least sleep well at night.

Good catch, they are US outlets.

Those are (at least for me) heavy duty warnings signs = stay away.

I've seen those pics before. And they were bigger and higher in quality. Those are US sockets too.

Sounds like you have already talked yourself out of it! Good move!

I did!
The sad part is that somebody did win the sale and I truly hope they get the watch they bid on.
After so many red flags, but still go ahead with the purchase, they deserve the watch just for living on the edge
