Well spotted Mr. Rotty

Or he doesn't have the means to take his own pictures.

His user name suggests he was born in 1963, so his 40th would have been 2003, so maybe the watch was already a couple of years old when he bought it.

Anyway, I didn't use a picture of the actual watch when selling my Tag, although someone did report the auction, as I didn't state that it was genuine and the buyer ended up going to an authorised dealer to get it confirmed.

Could it be the watermarks in the bottom right corner of all the photos, indicating that the photos aren't taken by him at all?

ebay watermark photos when you upload them.

You say it changed about 4 years ago.. he says his watch is from around 2002.. Couldn't the watch be one of the last watches of the old type of links :confused:

::EDIT:: Ok so they are different pics on the auctions

I don't want to start another Ebay thread so can I ask here?

I listed two mobile phones for my brother and they both sold within 20 mins netting £600.
I told my bro and we got excited then I noticed both buyers had 0 feedback.
One was located in Poland, the other India. They both registered that day and emailed requesting that the item is for a relative in Nigeria (yes I know)
I now have fees for £25 and no sale.
I notice there is a 'Final Valuation Fee' credit - which I assume should be applied for after 7 days. Should I request this now as I'm pretty sure there is no sale here?
