Re: is this legit?
In Response To: is this legit? ()

Yep. This one smells a bit fishy. All looks great at first glance. The engravings between the lugs are definitely off - looks like it has been redone, and not well. Not sure about the hands - they do look too light compared to the indices but that could be light induced.

On another point: he states that he will finish the auction if his desired price hasn't been reached 12 hours before the end of the auction. It certainly peed me off but is it even allowed?? I know you can close an auction under certain circumstances but this cannot be permissible surely? Anyone know?
