http://www.ebay.com/itm/120815814222?ru ... _878wt_922 This for US$ 1,000:  Interesting. Saw several of these too good to be true offers from Lithuania in the summer, asked one for a closeup of the papers and serial numbers and just got a pic of a totally different watch than offered .... |

Well the watch is real, but there are a couple of things off on the paperwork - the serial number has he LE number, which I guess is possible, but a 2009 sale date on this watch??? I highly doubt that there were unsold Le Mans in 2009. |

Isn't one of the known signs of a fake the price being too good to be true? |

I think you are right Fred. I strongly suspect that this is a reincarnation of this: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=30915 The original Ebay seller, mergaiciuke257, is no longer registered. And I can't find any details of the original Chrono24 listing. Edit: Gone
