I completely agree with Lou and Justin. I find most dealers are less scrupulous than individual sellers. No offense intended to the good dealers out there, but if your vocation is to sell used watches, your proverbial bottom line is to minimize costs. That invariably leads to overlooked defects or outright laziness.

Caution is always a good thing. That is why I approach dealers much more carefully than individual sellers. Shame about the Tudor.
