Aside from the modern relume job - any thoughts on this one?

Any? It would be greatly appreciated

I don't want to get into the specifics of the watch.

But the seller is um, suspicious.

Let us know how it turns out.

@LAFlyer - I've got the same overwhelming vibe. But any and all info would be appreciated - no reason to hold back theories, observations, etc - after all, this is the "Watch Out!" forum section.. Speculation is the point of it.

So please - any and all musings are welcomed.

What did you end up doing?

Dave S · 21 October 2014, 04:19 PM

Seller jjv41k

dstacy · 21 October 2014, 11:07 PM

It went for roughly $4k?

If it all checks out someone got an early Christmas present.

Looks like Christmas will be happening along with everyone else's Christmas. More detailed update to follow on the developments, or lack there of, I should say.

The seller has no activity whatsoever in the last year. There was a bunch of feedback prior to that, but none is readable. You can't see whether the feedback was for buying or selling -nor can you see the dollar amounts involved.

Basically you have a seller with zero track record.

A hijacked account is a possibilty here.

is there an update, did you receive the watch?

morafa4 · 24 October 2014, 04:58 AM

Haha he's opened an unpaid item case.

Immediately following the closing of the auction, I asked him to provide an image of the clasp (as it's unphotographed) alongside a piece of paper with his eBay username on it. And he only responded after my follow up reminding him to do so after having a non-response. Only then did he respond, innocently stating - Take your time, there is no rush for payment haha.

I guess he figures he better shake the bushes one last time. That or he's the most casual guy to ever want to get rid of a 5512 like it ain't no thang.
