Hi Adam,
Welcome to the form. A lovely watch.
Just a bit of info for you - there has recently been a few scammers claiming to have certain high value items for sale. Unfortunately, he goes by the name of 'AdamS'.
Personally, I am inclined to think that this is nothing to do with you, and just a very unfortunate coincidence. Why am I telling you this? Well, it is just in case you get a guarded response from this forum. We are not usually like this, we welcome collectors with open arms.

The scammer was a bit dim, and typically didn't know anything about what he was claiming to sell. You come across as fairly knowledgeable, so please don't take offence if you are inadvertently caught up with the recent 'high alert'. :0)

All the best
Stewart
