is this a fake? I am tempted to buy it and have AMEX refund the money if it is. The blue face goes for upwards of $150

if you can get $ back from AMEX if its a fake, then there is not alot to lose. I'd jump on it.

Did you take advantage of this? If you did how did it work out?

i didn't, but it sounds like a bunch of people got burnt. i don't have a membership here, but you can read up and relay the info if you do:

Interesting thread from Watchgeeks about the deal (link below).
Turns out the watches were fake. Approximately 1000 were sold between this deal and one other.
The people at Watchgeeks didn't seem as skeptical of the deal as us SDers, and many got burnt.
Long read, but shows how different people react to scams.
