Watch out for this clown. Seems like he wants to build up a data base of pictures, and references as well!! I got one of these last week when I sold my gmtIIc and 94110.
He is sending these emails to many people on different forums.

Do not send any info to this scammer.
Here is a sample of his email.

hi,
I'm very interested in your watch.
Please can you send me more actual-detailed photos of the watch (front, back sides) with serial number.
I was scammed 3 month ago, need more protection, because many scams, many replicas online.
Please make the photos of the watch, box, papers,receipt (if you have) near piece of paper with your VRF nickname.
Please send the pictures to my e-mail: bartonsell@gmail.com
I really love this watch and I'm serious buyer.
Sorry for many questions, but I need to be sure if this real sale.
I hope you are understand me
Thank you,
Bruce.

Fellow Torontonian here, second your message, this guy is playing around for sure. He was polite enough not to ask for pictures of SIN, Social Security, Credit Cards- sure he'd find those interest as well. No room for idiots here.

Thanks for calling this guy out and making us aware of this.
