Protect from what? Being the seller (to me) is pretty secure. A buyer, on the other hand, needs to have the item verified and authenticated. You probably should meet at a jeweler so they can authenticate/appraise the watch. That's why I would rarely consider purchasing any high-end consumer item (that I wasn't an absolute expert in - which is very little) without an evaluation by a certified expert.

I think being a seller you don't know if the money is fraudulent or not. Say someone could do a faulty wire transfer or cashiers check and it is later found to be fraudulent, wouldn't the seller be stuck holding the bag? Or if someone makes a claim that the watch wasn't as described even though it is. Tons of stuff like that so as a newbie on expensive watches, I would be a bit hesitant.
