Yes the paper work looks dodgy so watch is probably fake too but can't quite see it clear enough to report.

Inevitably a fake, but can't see anything to report from the blurred photos.

While I can't tell you whether or not it is a fake (I thought it was real), I won that one in an auction a few weeks ago. Someone else won it a week or so ago. Here is the link to the listing I "won":
http://www.ebay.com/itm/290594547838?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
here is the link to the next winner:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/270799642758?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
I was waiting for it to show up again! I paid promptly,PP with a CC, it was credited back promptly.
I really like this in the listing:
Please !! no non-paying bidders are allowed to bid on this item, you must pay for this item if you bid !! NO SCAMERS !!
Please do not distribute my photos. I will open a case against you. I watermarked my photos
This item is intended to be sold in a safe, and honest environment. Please do not bid if you have no intent on paying for winning bid. No offers outside of ebay or paypal. Only real honest bidders. Thank you !!!
RETURN POLICY : This is a binding on contract, !!! Other buyer's want this item promptly, so please don't prevent others from having the opportunity to bid and win. I intent on selling it to serious bidders only !!

(Needs to learn how to spell scammers!)

Run away. I bought a nicer Chrono from a seller on the bay that had it listed "buy now" - just made an offer and got a reasonable counteroffer - perfect piece, as advertised, arrived on time. Shop for a while on some of the sites.
Good luck!

:yeahthat plus I don't see any obvious signs of fake in the OP's link either. Can see some correct cardinal ticks, date wheel looks ok. I wouldn't buy it without more than what is shown, but is looking ok.

while it is probably real, the zero feedback and 3X on the block w/o consummating a sale would make me run. (I should not have bothered with it originally with the zero feedback)

Really?? The watch in the OP looks fake to me - sec marks at 1 and 46 sec look long. I'm not 100% sure so haven't reported. Given the fake Crosswind Special paperwork I would recommend avoiding. Unfortunately, I can't pass on that good advice to all - bidding already up to $600

Sorry I wasn't clear. I was referring to the links in sracer's post directly above mine, not the link in ShawnCris's first post of this thread. With regards to that link, Roff is right that it's most probably fake but with such bad/distant photos, I can't be 100% certain so, under my self imposed guidelines, not reported.

Only 4 hours left on this auction and bidding over $2,000. I've reported that the box/papers are fake at least.

Sold for $2,475.00. Crazy money when you can't tell if it's real.

Buyer will no doubt be happy until he comes to sell it when he might get a nasty shock.
