Rolex Milgauss on eBay - Legit?

Hi,

I am new to the Rolex world. Looking to purchase a Rolex Milgauss Black.
I found a few options on eBay. The following one was especially interesting to me as it looks like in new condition:

Two questions:
a) Does it look legit? Anything I should be asking?
b) They don't accept PayPal. I saw somewhere that I shouldn't buy such an expensive item w/o PayPal. Any advice? Won't eBay warranty the purchase?

If you have any other advice (questions I didn't ask) I'd very much appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!
Andi

Looks good. But you should buy the seller. No PayPal is always risky, but his feedback seems decent.

I didn't understand what you mean with "why you have to buy through ebay?"
I am looking at eBay as I can't go and search individual stores and there's at least some level of protection against fraud.
But still, trying to figure out whether what I am looking at is legit and get any further advice from folks here who're more experienced with Rolexes.

That is Boris Kats, one of the trusted sellers here. Just get in touch with him.
