I checked out the links. it's a pretty dicey proposition for the buyer.
You're expected to shell out $100 - $200 or so for a fake watch that may
or may not be shipped out to you. Their policy states the if your
shipment is lost or seized(!), they immediately ship you another watch.
My guess is that you'll probably end up with nothing or an awful $10
watch. Oh well, there's always eBay. :-)
