They also sold a mint blue version a while back... seems suspicious to me.

Okay this one has thrown me, I can't see anything wrong but I just get the feeling that something's not right? Anyone care to offer an opinion...

If it's genuine I'll buy it! But the lume for example, seems awfully good for a watch this old..

It seems different to the same model that you blogged about back in March? That one had a very clear starburst/sunray effect to the dial, while this one appears matte. Also the back says "Swiss Watch" instead of "Swiss Made" -- is that a typical variation?

Hmm, well comparing the two now, the back plate is different... but perhaps more tellingly the backs of the end links are different as well - I'm not sure what this is but I don't think it's 100% genuine. Just seems unrealistic to find a blue and a red from the same seller in such incredible condition (yet with scratches on the back). I think I'm gonna pass on this one.

Indeed, my Spidey-sense is tingling.
Guess someone else besides me has seen ...

Actually no, the last Spiderman film I saw was the first one with Toby McGuire and Kirsten Dunst! But I used to watch the cartoons as a kid.

Found another red model on the bay at a similar price, different seller.

Does it look genuine, or does it look like this one?

Then definitely go watch this one with your kids or nephews; I think you'll enjoy it.

I have neither, but maybe I'll pick it up at some point!
