Is this Tudor Pelagos real or fake?

Hi,

I'm new to this forum. I saw a Tudor Pelagos on ebay that I want to buy. I'm not an expert in watches. Can you help to see if this is real or fake? Thanks!

Below are all the photos in the listing:

Seems perfectly legit to me. Are there any cluesthat it could be a fake, like suspuciously low price etc.?

Seems to have a lot of positives to be a fake.

The Tudor experts should chime in soon.

The current bid price is attractive (less than $2400 now, ending in 16.5 hours). The seller only has 56 feedback on ebay and the seller does not have much feedback selling watches.

I've requested more high quality photos.

I cannot post the ebay link. The forum says "An error has occurred sub7! You must have 10 posts in order to post links. Your current post count is 1."

It seems irrelevant to me. I would Recc buying the seller first - if you don’t know this eBay seller, then would look elsewhere even if it costs you more. Just my opinion.

No immediate red flags.

However, for whatever reason the Pelagos is one of the models that is faked VERY well. As such, those pics aren't good enough to tell anything definitively, IMO.
