I think we all know the answer, but can't tell anything from that.

Do the papers make any difference? What if the serial number on the COSC cert. matches the serial number on the watch?

Then it stands a better chance of being real, but if you can fake a watch then for darn sure you can fake a piece of paper.

I always wondered that, but it seems a lot of buyers look for papers, including the original warranty that shows it was purchased from an AD. I know I would be hard pressed to buy a secondhand watch that didn't have papers.

Warranty book is harder to fake than the COSC cert because it should have perforations and stamps, COSC is just printed.

It's hard to tell from the picture, but it looks as though he might have the original warranty included with the box and papers.

The auction has been updated to include additional pictures since earlier today. Initially the first picture was the only one available. While I am unable to identify a SN on the watch or the COSC I would judge the watch to be real based on the updated info.
