Hello everyone, I recently won the bidding for this Super Avenger - pro s/s band, white dial. The seller does not have any history of selling lings other than the other Super Avenger with the blue dial that he also recently sold. The watch as depicted in the pics looks authentic but I'm nervous about purchasing from a seller who doesn't have history of selling lings on eBay. I would appreciate some feedback on the watch and comments on the item description, and what about the price? 3K US$ seems like an excellent deal, no? Here's the link http://www.ebay.ca/itm/190660548515?ssP ... _500wt_922

Very good fake of the SA and would want better pictures to be sure, but it looks OK.

Hi Roff, I'm confused, it looks like a fake, albeit a good one?

Sorry, I meant that there is a very good fake of the SA so I would want better pictures to be sure that this one was OK, but I think it is.

Thanks Roff, appreciate it. I will ask for more pictures. With the way the seller has described the item I'm confident that I will have a strong case should the delivered item be different from the pictures. Although, I truly don't want to have to go that route, been through it once already with success but the item was $900 and not $3000.

some of the SA fakes are so good that it is almost impossible to call them from pics, so general advice is only to buy them with perfectly matching documents. according to the listing this SA comes with a full set of papers, as long as the serial number on the watch matches the COSC and the warranty booklet you have no reason to worry; if it does not: shout out loud and return the watch to get a full refund.

Paperwork looks good and you don't see fakes of that.

As the others have said, check the s/n on the watch matches and you're fine.
