There is NO WAY I would buy such an expensive item from a feedback score of "52" in a different country. WAY TOO MANY red flags for me

Blue sticker on he bracelet = fake.
And the seller is in Monaco but won't ship to Europe? Sounds like someone is being taken for a ride |

Watch might be real but far too risky.

Seems like a real history of selling some upscale watches. For the right price with the right back-up (AMEX and PayPal) I'd consider it. If it isn't right it will take some work however they do offer a 14 day return period which should be plenty of time for validation and communications. I've been through fakes before and it's no fun to deal with. If you can stomach it then OK if not, walk away. Also I'd take some time to research the specific watch reference and make certain all looks well.

At least false stickers or estickered; this means nothing if the watch is real.

I buy on eBay - a lot.
doesn't matter if you're buying on TRF, eBay, or any other site. Buy from trusted sellers, and don't take chances. |

As said above, those stickers are not as on genuine pieces.

I'm pretty adept when it comes to how Fleabay works. I still wouldn't buy a $20k item off Fleabay with this many uncertainties.

They have 52 feedbacks. 100% of which are positive The history of the seller looks good. The Daytona?? I defer to the experts. I have 120+ feedbacks all positive. But have sold nothing expensive. So it's a crapshoot. If you know 100% that is is real and not stolen, have at it. I would post in the look at me section Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I would say it is authentic, but I still wouldn't touch it. Too expensive of an item to have the headache of buying off Fleabay

I personally won't buy a Rolex on eBay. I prefer TRF, AD (sometimes) or watchrecon
