Good spot! That looks very much like a listing from someone I know. I'll speak to him....

It's another xtmail.co.uk account. And the seller looks like he would normally be selling floor and wall tiles, not watches.

Be careful out there.

Agree..and yes, the original owner/seller confirmed it's his watch/photo. In this case it looks like the Ebay account has been hacked.

That one's pretty great, awesome price. Went quickly accordingly!
Didn't think it would last more than a day. Like I say, nearly jumped on it myself, even though I don't really want one 😀

I find myself very tempted by this : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-...ries-Watch-982-013-Pre-Tag-Heuer/164191845477

I'd prefer the 42mm version - but other than that, it's exactly one of the watches I wanted to add to my burgeoning collection of 1000s. (as far as I can make out - it all looks good to me......)

Does anyone have any comments on the veracity of the watch? Is that dial a little 'too' clean? Or am I second guessing myself?

Buy it now price is £55,000 but you might get it cheaper with a starting bid of £36,300!

This seller contacted me a couple of weeks ago re: value of the watch. I think I sent back a recent sale in the US1-2k range. She must have thought I was trying to rob her blind given it’s worth 100x that 😎

Rob her blind? You weren't offering to purchase it I presume.

It's been listed twice on eBay already, finishing with zero bids each time, and the price hasn't been changed. 🤦

Hah, no but she probably thought I was low-balling her so that I could swoop in and buy it for pennies.

Wonder if she just looked at "2915 watch values" and ignored that the valuable ones are Omegas that look nothing like this one!

Surprise surprise, ended with no bids 😀
It does seem like a waste of time. I guess there is a 0.001% chance that someone buys at that price, or maybe asks for a ~30% discount and then thinks that they have a bargain🙄
