: I could be completely wrong, but bear this in mind.
: I was contacted via email by a guy in El Salvador who had a Heuer,
: wondering what it was. and it's worth & where to sell.
: It was a Siffert. I gave a valuation and recommended it could be
: listed on here or ebay - I was immediately asked for my 'best
: offer' (quite bluntly - but I put this down to language barrier)
: - I declined.

: This one on ebay looks like it is the same watch, but it appears it
: is in the US now.

: It could be a coincidence, but I thought I'd share with the
: community. The person who contacted me - it was clear that
: English wasn't their first language, yet this ebay add appears
: to be quite competent. So just take care guys - I could be
: wrong, but be careful out there.
