Plus, if you actually get the watch, what would be the benefit of buying overseas and then needing to deal with customs?
I don’t understand the thinking.
So maybe I’m just too old in age at this point to think this is a brilliant thing for anyone to do for a watch they can get at home.
If real my apologies and good luck to you, but something smells!

Maybe, if all you read is this thread, its hard to judge. I was in due diligence on the seller who had over 50 posts here in the last year and half a dozen classifieds. None sold though, which was another red flag.
Ultimately there were enough red flags that I shied away. I believe RolexRV and that the scam was in play here long before him. Also surprising is that the for sale posts were up for days after he was banned, including an external email link allowing a new prospect to communicate, if they didn't notice the ban.
As a Canadian, we often buy things from the US and pay the duty and tax to have it shipped home. Sometimes its availability and other times is still a better price.
