Legit watch, bluesey ?
Looks to good to be true really. My main concern is unsigned clasp.
Has the stamps though. Any thoughts ? |

Not really a new gold clasp will cost you quite a bit

Watch on C 24. Selling for half of market value. You’re in San Francisco. Seller in Poland. What could go wrong?

Use escrow account and verify watch prior to releasing funds.

I have more concerns than an unsigned clasp.
Solid center links on this model is wrong, so likely an aftermarket bracelet, as well as the clasp. Holes case indicates likely tritium era, so dial is a replacement. Barring more information, this is an older watch that has been refurbished. Not to mention half way around the world.

Be smart.
Pass and find one (a better, actually complete one) locally from a "trusted seller".

OP, not sure why you think its too good to be true. I am looking for the same watch and that one has been there for a while. It looks to have a pretty poor polish (the listing literally says the condition is less than good), needs a new clasp, is in Poland, does not accept returns from outside the EU and doesnt have box and papers. Also on Chrono 24 for an extra $1,400 (approx. 7% more) you can get a 2007 (in far better condition and potentially 15 years or so newer than the one you are looking at) no holes case, SEL, engraved rehaut from a bricks and mortar shop in the US. Granted it also comes without papers (which is why I have not already bought it), but if you are willing to take the risk on that, the one in the USA is a far far better deal. |
