that's great. Now you can mediate between us, if something goes wrong.

Thats why I don't pass up deals. Once it's gone it's gone.

He's been on the bay since 1997, and sells pateks for $200,000. Also, is there something i should ask the seller before having it shipped? Thanks

I did the exact same deal for my 16610 for 3,950 via eBay. Ended up purchasing a bracelet here (TRF) via a private seller located in Malta for around 700 or 800 (can't remember the exact price) bucks. I sent it to Rikki for service and never looked back. Congrats.

I'd recommend picking up a Maratac Nato single strap vs a traditional Nato. I have been wearing one for about a month now and it's really neat and clean.

I can also vouch for Trent / Astorlive - he is a top seller and someone I would not hesitate on buying from again.

Looks like a fine buy to me...
Yup, if you post to ask advice before the auction ends, then you just increased your competition.

With bracelet would have been a good deal, without is just ok, IMO. Look forward to your incoming pics, etc.

With a 14 day no questions asked money back policy he did the right thing by securing the deal before asking IMO. Otherwise there is a good chance someone could buy out from under him.

The seller is legit and so is the watch. The deal would have been better if it had came with the bracelet. Congrats!
