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...]

Update: Beware of Jason Jindra! Shady Dealer!

Just wanted to give everybody a heads up that starting in November I purchased a vantage Heuer Carrera box from a listing on Chronotrader by Jason Jindra. If you do a forum search for "Jindra" you will find dozens and dozens of threads up until today selling all kinds of watch related items.

Once I contacted him, he requested that the transaction be completed through his listings on eBid, an alternative to eBay. He claimed this was due to lower seller fees so I obliged. He claims that he is based in the Czech Republic but that I could send a check to his parents house in Georgia. After doing so, he gave me a tracking number for an item shipped from the Czech Republic which reached New York and then attempted delivery in Boston even though I live in Puerto Rico. After that, the tracking info stopped working and after many communications with him over several weeks, he claims that the item was returned to him. To make a long story short, he always says he is too busy to pick it up from the post office or to reship it or give me a refund. So, after three months, and dealing with eBid customer support who eventually suspended his account after investigating the case, I don't have the box or my money back and he has stopped returning emails.

If he sees this post, maybe he will reply with another version of the events but I can assure you that is what happened. Just wanted to warn anybody else who has plans to purchase any of his many items.

Not sure about the forum rules here but perhaps a moderator should pin this to the top to alert others so that they don't fall victim as well.

The email he is currently using on the forums is jjjjindra@gmail.com

Best Regards

Simon
