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: Found: Anyone here buying from TryTroywatches?

A brand new seller on the market. 1 ad here and 2 ads on mywatchnet. Both watches (the other is a PAM90) prices below market and ad layout and pictures look suspicious to me. I did a image search but that did not yield anything, which may only indicate that he's savvy in the art of scamming.

Rule1: stay away
Rule2: if you want to take it further: insist on tagged pictures so you know the seller at least has the actual watch. Then ask home address, and pictures of driver license or passport for name on the bank account.
Call them and talk to them.
Rule3: Anything hesitant => go back to rule 1.
