Listing is for a Colt GMT+, but pic shows a GMT. Also, the top of a watermark is evident at the bottom of the pic, indicating seller might have ripped off a stock photo. Careless seller, or bogus listing?

Given this is the first thing he's selling, gives virtually no info or anything like that I'd lean towards fake listing, especially considering the difference in quality between the breitling photo and that of the leather handbags he's selling.

But there isn't enough for me to report it.

Photo has been stolen from this site - you can just make out the top of the letters of breitlingsource at the bottom of the pic.

Who knows what the seller actually has?

I e-mailed the seller. He claims the listing and the pic are the same, but didn't say anything about the pic being of the actual watch he's selling (which it obviously isn't). He says he can forward me more pics. I told him to go for it, while also explaining that a GMT and GMT+ are two different models. We'll see what comes of it, but my gut tells me this guy is full of crap.

I'm bumping this in case anyone wants to report this numbnuts. He claims the watch was a gift from his sister to his nephew, but his nephew doesn't like the watch. And yet, the watch is listed as new. Also, he said he got the pic off the "manufacturer's" website, because his pics didn't show of the watch well. This guy can't keep his stories straight. I've reported him, but the listing is still up. Personally, I'd like to see it taken down. I can't imagine anyone would actually be stupid enough to shell out two grand based on such a flimsy listing, but you never know.

I reported it as seller using photo that clearly isn't his, to sell a watch that isn't what the photo represents. I guess we'll see what ebay does but my money says they won't pull it.
