Never. Ever.
A guy I worked with bought two Rolex's on eBay.
When he got them, they were obviously fakes.
He tried to get his money back, but the seller just went "I don't know what you're talking about-- I sent you two real ones, and YOU'RE trying to scam ME with two fake ones."
Lesson learned. I'd NEVER buy a high-end watch that I couldn't have certified from an independent source. The fakes now are so good, that they can fool the naked eye unless you crack the case and REALLY know what you're looking for. Too much risk for my blood.
