But you just said:

So which is it? What is the other mode of payment you plan to use that will cover the transaction in a safe way for both you and the seller? |

This has gotta be the most nonchalant purchase of a 5711 green dial I’ve ever seen

Doesn’t Chron24 have an escrow service as well as a authenticity guarantee?

This is 1 of 2 scenarios. A troll or a scam.
My advice to anyone contemplating this is don’t pay 250k for any watch easily cloned for 500 bucks.

I think he made up the whole story, start this thread just for fun to see our reaction.
That’s how he sounded like…

This is a very interesting thread, wonder how everything plays out.
My first impression is that no seller would send a $250k watch out first and wait for the buyer to examine the watch before receiving full payment, I know I would never do that. Then goes the huge wire amount of over $200k - I don't know about others but in my experience the banks will definitely need some kind of documentation such as invoice in order to proceed. Then there goes the customs and duty when the watch is couriered to the United States. I do want to find out what happens eventually though!

I think the "tell" was when he said he was on his way to Taiwan (which a real buyer would be), and then later said he was "joking." That is really all you need to know...
I'm still anxiously waiting to see how this thread turns out! <just kidding, just kidding>

On personal level, I’ve never had to show or tell them what I am buying. The tellers are usually curious tho. But way easier to just fly there and complete it in person. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
