seller claims: Everyone keeps asking for actual pics of the watch. That is an actual pic of the watch because it is in MINT condition. It looks exactly like that. It has been worn maybe a few times. It sits in my safe, I never use it."

quite unconvincing seller feedback (to put it mildly), bidding at 1k+, afraid somebody will be taken for a ride here .....

reported suspected fraudulent

As seller admits the pics are stock, I think this is a risk a buyer would have to accept. I do report stock pics where I think it is reasonable for a buyer to assume they are of the actual watch. I dont tend to report use of professional stock pics unless there is some other indication of a fake in the listing.

I can see both sides of this, but can't see anything good coming from this listing so reported as suspected fraudulent to at least get a record for a future buyer claim.

Reported under 'authenticity disclaimer'... but also asked seller to post pics of actual item. Hopefully he does :)
