Hello, I just won an auction on ebay for a Mark XV. The article number on ebay is: 281046118116 When you enter this number in ebay search it brings up the watch with only 4 photos. The seller uploaded the last 2 photos with the movement. Does not look right to me any longer. Also the back of the watch seems to have a sticker but no engravement nor number. Could somebody help me with advice. Thank you. Best wishes, Stefan

Thank you. Thats what I thought after the seller put some more photos up. Thank you. What a shame. He has a 100% positive feedback though. The dial is wrong, right? And the back and the movement also, right? Thanks, Stefan

Somebody else is selling a limited edition (500 peaces) Flieger (Pilot) double chronograph from the German Soccer association. Box Paper Card, etc. Do you think the watch will keep or improve its value?

Dear Stefan,
Dial, back and movement are clearly not original what made you decide to bid on this watch? Did you also check the actual feedback of the seller? He only got a dozen feedbacks as seller and he only sold some cards, most objects for less than $ 1 each.
If you want to buy a 'brand' watch from an online seller you at least should know the project you are going to buy and then 'buy the seller', e.g. make sure he is trustworthy.
I wish you more luck next time and I suggest you report this product as fraudulent.

But you need to be careful on how you proceed - since the Description of the item nowhere states that it is an authentic IWC watch Mark XV.
I have no experience with E-bay myself but aparently the watch is presented as a "IWC Schaffhausen Watch" in the listing. There is also still a button to report this item, probably for being a fake? I have also heard that it's hard to get an item removed if you report it so I wonder how this will end...

Dear Stefan
I suggest that you do not seem to have enough experience about IWC and buying items online. I suggest that you don't jump into anything without doing a full exploration of the item that interest you. To escape from one close shave experience and ask immediately about another is demonstrating a level of naiivety.
Do a thorough search of the item that interests you first and then ask questions later n
