Jacob & Co Watch- Real Or Not?!

Okay, so you know we're all in the search of that perfect premiership footballers style watch, and I think I've found mine. It is a beautiful Jacob & Co brightly coloured lairy big fuck off number, which I stumbled across on Ebay. Check it out.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/J-Co-sales-Marc-Jacob-co-Watch-1-DAY-LISTING-ONLY_W0QQitemZ250051156396QQihZ015QQcategoryZ90837QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Obviously I know that the case of it being fake or not is irrelevant to the fact that from the photographs, I think it is a beautiful watch. But I guess it would make it an extra special purchase if I knew that what I was buying was not a cheap fake, you know?

What do you guys think? Is it the real deal or am I dealing with a dodgy Scouse money-maker?! I think it's the price more than anything that's making me suspect - wouldn't a genuine Jacob & Co of that kind be tens of thousands of pounds more? Or is it because it's on the wrong side of England, ie near Liverpool that it is that cheap? AAH! I love it but I'm confused!!!

Authentic as they come. There's been a load of high quality time pieces coming out of Liverpool recently.

it looks to be a good copy
i looked into these for ages and am still waiting to buy/ my dad buy me a real one.
generally if the 5 time zones work, its worth about 200- 300 coz the mechanisms are still difficult
i say get it mate, basically its the real thing.

Just as real as the one on ebay.
They sell good fakes though.
The one you are looking at are on page 3.

Real Jacob & Co. starts at something like $5000

you should just get it and do a paypal reversal, that way you get a watch and your money back
