Help verifying a deep sea

Hi,

Keen to get others opinion on this deep sea that's coming up at a local auction (picture attached)

I'm a little skeptical given I haven't seen this type of box before - But hoping others might be able to give some advice on the watch? Is there anything that suggest that it's not right?

I've been told that the watch comes with paperwork, but I'm yet to see it or get a serial number.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks
Ramilio

Well we can not see anything from that photo but a "pink" box.

I never bought a DEAPSEA, but does it come in a pink box I dont think so.

And box looks fake to me

The font on the bezel looks bad to me, but I am basing it on a grainy photo.

Looks off at a glance (6 and 9 markers are too short and fat, bezel looks too small) and that's an old one-year warranty paper in the box lid.

Ask him/her to align the pearl in the 12'oclock position then take a up close photo of the face of the watch straight on, then repost photo. From that photo I wouldn't buy it.
