Funnily enough it's been removed!
I once found a Siffert on eBay, the seller had uploaded two bad and blurry pictures, starting price £500, collection only (from the UK) and he wouldn't send any more pictures because he couldn't be bothered to take any. He knew it was a Siffert and said in the listing it was worth at least £2,500. I arranged to meet him in London a couple of days later (I was going there anyway with a friend who was a Royal Marine so was ready, just in case it was a scam!). He then emailed to say he couldn't go to London, so I left it and decided it was all a scam. The next morning he emails to say he's at home and free to meet me, he lived 10 miles from me! I Googled everything about him and his address, and examined it on Google Earth. The watch still had no bids on eBay! I parked nearby and left my money etc hidden in the car just in case. It turned out it was genuine, unrestored, with correct GF bracelet, I think it was a Mk2, I paid him £400 cash and drove home a very happy man.
My point is that there are a lot of idiots out there who will do everything possible to not sell their watches for what they're worth!
