This King Seiko Gets Around

[dasher]

So the other night I see a 5625-7030 for sale on eBay and after some negotiating, I managed to purchase the watch.  As is my custom, I then promptly set about to find out what I had purchased.

There aren't too many pictures of sold item listings that I could find, but I did manage to find a sold item that, I'll be darned, is the SAME EXACT watch!  The serial numbers are identical in the photos.  How weird is that??  The sold item is only a month or so old, too, so this KS is certainly covering some ground.

I'll be sure to snap some wrist shots once it arrives, but in the meantime, here are screenshots from the listings:

The original sale:





And my "middle of the night" purchase:



 

I sent a PM to the original seller asking for any provenance - no reply as of this morning.  Once I get it I may ask my seller why the quick turnaround.

Thanks for reading - stay tuned for some Thomas-styled unwrapping photos!!

Three possible scenarios:

1.  The watch never sold the first time and was a bunch of shill bidders.

2.  The watch did sell and it has a problem which is why the new owner is willing to let it go for a lot less plus EBAY fees than he just paid for it 2 months before.

3.  There is no watch and the seller stole the pictures from the net.

Or maybe I just always look for the good in people

LOL.


I pray #2 is not correct - but that was my after the fact nagging thought too.  We'll see.
