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...]

: I am just stating a fact. I did say I believe the seller is
: probably genuine. Before you start complaining I'm too much put
: your self in my shoes. Will you be happy if you are in my shoes.

: As a buyer I have the right to express my concern. That's what a
: forum is for.

Dude, I **have** been in your shoes. Parcel got lost by the post. It's frustrating and I sympathize.

But publicly casting aspersions on a seller when he's trying to help you, and when it looks like the post is at fault does nothing to help yourself nor help the watch arrive any faster.

I don't know you, nor the seller. You certainly do have a right to express your concern. Everyone else also has a right to read what you wrote, see how you responded, and ask themselves
1.would I do what Mark Loh did? or would I take a different approach?
2. would I ever sell a watch to you?

I know my answer to Q2 is. And that's what a forum is for.
