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.

Re: Update: Reference check on James Mclarnon

: I have been advised by two different people that images of mine
: have been used by this person in response to WTB ads. One was
: from this individual and both were offered a Carrera 2447N with
: box and papers. A watch I sold a year ago and the images are on
: my web site. If in doubt ask the seller for a current picture of
: the watch set a a specific time maybe even on a newspaper with
: the current date.

To add to this, I put up a WTB for a second hand for my Carrera 2447. I received an email from the above named individual offering me the watch that Paul mentions. I thought that it was strange to offer me a watch when I only wanted a hand? . I made further enquiries with the seller and finally pointed out that I wasn't actually looking to buy a watch. I never received any further correspondence from him. Luckily I had been on Paul's website recently and recognised the pictures of the watch on offer. As I do not frequent chronotrader regularly, I didn't know of the seller and it concerns me to think that I could have quite easily been conned. The advice that Paul offers is sound and I have certainly learnt something from this experience.

I am still looking for my Carrera hand so if anyone has one, please get in touch :)
