Ebay auction # 280855861756 He states that it is illegal to send pictures of paperwork and back of watch showing Model and serial Numbers. Thanks for your help

Thank you the reply. The box is a newer one and I can not tell if the bracelet is White Gold or Stainless. I asked for better pictures but he would not send them because I could use them to sell a watch using his pictures, which I understand. i was being careful because of the lack of pictures, him having no feedback and the current bidders low feedback ratings. Always buy the seller.

Bracelet looks SS to me. I would at the very least insist on photos showing the reference number on the watch and the bracelet - there's no telling that it's white gold otherwise.

"White gold" watch which could well be SS. Zero feedback. Claims that sending pics which every other seller provides is illegal.

Walk away - better still, run away!

Yep, I'm absolutely convinced that the bracelet is SS because the gold ones have links that are undercut to reduce weight / cost.

Thank you for all the replies. I have not heard back from the seller. I am not even sure if the watch is white gold, no pictures of the watch back and the paperwork shown is only the manual and a Certificat Montre de Joaillerie which I thought was for diamond watches. Does Breitling send one for Pearl faced watches?

Thanks again, Bmwdriver

Nope, and with the reference number that the seller quoted (starting with 'J') he is claiming that it's white gold.
