Hello guys,
I'm new to this. Recently saw this on ebay. I made what I thought was a lowball offer and to my surprise the seller accepted... Now I am thinking it might be fake and that I should run.

Any insight is appreciated.
Thanks!

Common Chinese fake, you shouldn't have any problems with eBay / Paypal, there are a lot of these around.

Thanks so much. That's what I thought. Should have asked before I made an offer, but am glad I didn't go all the way... What was/were the most obvious tip off(s)?

All of the Chinese ones have these cases with 29xx cases, and the dial is in suspiciously good condition (because it's virtually new).

Thanks so much. The seller honored my request to cancel and quickly put it back on ebay for more than he was asking the first time...

Unbelievable. Thanks for saving me a few hundred bucks!
