This forum is for BUYING, SELLING and TRADING only--not for discussing watches. Please limit postings to specific ads for buying, selling or trading watches, parts or accessories that that match at least one of the following categories:

Please see our ChronoTrader Policies and Terms of Use. Learn more about How To Include Photos In Your Postings.

Rules: Postings must be an ad announcing an intent to sell, buy or trade. Full item description and photo(s) must be posted within the message here, not as links to other websites. Links to online auctions and other sites: Links to online auctions, dealer sites or other listings of items are permitted, but you should be careful to ensure that such listings will comply with our other ChronoTrader Policies. In addition, we request that sellers linking to online auctions or listings offer some benefit or accomodation to ChronoTrader readers (for example, some discount or an undertaking to end an auction early, to keep a watch "in the family"). Photos must be of the actual item for sale in its present condition. No counterfeit or replica products. No post for the same item may be repeated within 7 days, except to lower the asking price. Commercial dealers are limited to three unique posts per day. [More...]

In Response To: Re: Update: Reference check. ()

: Did they provide a reference for you? I've not seen that email
: before but beware. If wire transfer is the only method I would
: want proof from verified forum members prior to sending money.
: Once you send it there is NO way to get it back and you are 100%
: screwed if they are not a trustworthy seller.

: Ask them if they sell on eBay as that is a good way to check. Not
: just a name either, get their username and and then send them a
: message. If they respond and don't know what the hell you are
: talking about then you know they are scammers. I confirm my eBay
: store all the time and if they have an account and sell anything
: It is not too much to ask.

: After my issues I would not send money via wire transfer and would
: absorb the 3% fees gladly in exchange for the security that
: paypal offers when not using gift. Just my two cents.

I strongly agree with you on this.I just sent him an email to provide me with a picture of the watch time set at 10:30pm with my name and email by the side.
i'm still waiting on his response.

Thanks buddy.
