    I have no idea. I was reading it and getting more and more confused. Imagine meeting up with him to make the deal.....

    I have read it again and I do feel sorry for the poor guy. Sounds like a rough road he has been on!

    Quite a vivid imagination to come up with such a story , I for one don’t buy it.

    Cut all the crap out and post a picture of the receipt, if there is one.

    Bizarre. If its true, its just too much information! No rational person would put all that in an ad. But it seems too weird to make up. Fortunately, its as ugly as **** and I can't afford it anyway!

    He has 100% score and over 1000 positive reviews which is also confusing!

    I putting my money on fake here. English is bad, although not as bad as it normally is on these things, but it's just that the language is not quite right somehow. Things like 'chemo radio therapy treatment', 'countless heart attacks'. There's something unnatural about it.

    Plus, you know, crap picture, 'rare custom bezel', 'not some crazy replica from some foreign country' etc. etc.

    Only 21 of those are selling feedback and they are all over a year ago. Everything else is just 'Thanks for shopping at Argos!' and so on.

    100 percent suspicious.

    If he wanted to sell it to keep away from the “bitch” then he could bring it to a dealer and have it sold over night.

    Very odd, but why speculate? He's given a phone number; just ring him and ask for more to satisfy your curiosity.

    Hello mate? Yeah, saw the eBay advert, just want to check a couple of things. You're definitely dying, yeah? Ok, nice one. Also, that stuff about your missus being a slapper, that all true? Perfect, ok, now about the watch...

    I reckon the watch was a gift from a wife to mark a special occasion. Racked by guilt and a rash that she can’t explain, she splashed out on the best cash converters could offer.

    I wish him good health and a dealer that can do a bezel swap at a fair price. Good luck to him.

    If true it's a horrible thing to happen to anyone.
    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

    Item description mentions Jeremy Kyle. Guess that’s why
