I am no expert on fakes, but I do have a blue SF. The first pic on ebay and chrono24 look like stock or lifted photos to me. The two you posted look petty good. The "B" on the bezel gives me a warm and fuzzy, but I know there are good fakes of the SF out there. I am going with legit, but bad pix and not a good feeling from seller. I'd tread lightly till others chime in. You do realize that is an older model with square (not arrow) second hand and older bracelet, right? Bracelet almost looks brushed/polished. Don't have my SF on, but pretty sure all brushed. Can't wait to see what others say.

thanks for your helpful information. Indeed i also dont feel good with the seller. I've never seen any proper aunctions coming with photos like that (1 stock photo and 1 bad photo). Moreover, the seller still keeps sending me promotion email with very reasonable price, and of course Paypal accepted. I am still looking forward to hearing from others.

The watch is real, but it is older model of SF and it might need a service in a year or two.
It could have been sold in 2009, but it's older than that (might be even 6 years old).

I think it's real, but TBH I'd go very VERY careful buying a Steelfish from eBay. It's faked extremely well, so I'd be very wary of buying from a non-approved source.
