A marketplace for chronographs, dive watches and other tool-type wristwatches and timepieces

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...]

Re: WTB: Reference check: Yves Berger

: What is his email address? did he tell you he is a member of this
: forum?
: Please be careful so you don't come back to this forum regretting
: why you made a deal with him,you should ask if he has an Ebay
: account and if he can send you pictures of the watch set at a
: particular time and also you should ask for his mobile number as
: well. I had an experience here when I was looking to buy a watch
: from an unknown seller here but has false references from other
: well known forums but that aside I then asked for pictures of
: the watch set at a particular time,date and my email address
: written beside the watch and to my greatest surprise he
: presented the pictures,unknowing to me this people have a
: particular software they use in setting and editing pictures and
: it looked really perfect.
: After I made payment I waited 10 days and I still did not get the
: watch so I reported to his bank and after investigations I got
: my money back because I pressed charges with the information I
: had.

: Since that incidence I always make sure we discuss over the phone
: before I make payment. So please be careful.
============================================
I asked him several questions about a NOS watch he listed

Do you have box/papers?
Your references?
IF NOS why so much wear?

He replied I will not answer such questions.. I would NOT deal with hin!
