So, as noted, you're really 'buying the seller' when you buy a watch. A smart fraudster will always offer pics of a real watch, regardless of what he'll actually send you after you buy it. I will definitely pay by PayPal, but just want to make sure the watch is all good. The number will be engraved as a number of fake Cartiers feature a serial number that's barely. This should appear on the back or side of a genuine Cartier.
