Re: Nice deal! Is it authentic?
In Response To: Nice deal! Is it authentic? *LINK* ()

: Still trying to find a nice deal on a SMP. I
: just found this watch this morning on Ebay.
: Do you all think that it's legit?

I see not signs tha the watch is not authentic.

Only worry are:

1) Why is he keeping the bidders private?

2) Why is someone selling an apparently mint/unused watch with no box/papers at a no-reserve starting price of less than 25% of its retail price?

3) How the hell do you have a watch *so* new it still has the stickers on it -- but you don't have the box or any papers? Was it a gift that he was an idiot and imediately threw the box away? Or was it stolen from a jewelry store? Or what?

Despite the apparent potential for a great deal, I'd want to know more about the origin of this piece before risking my money on it.
