Does anyone have any experience with this seller. Power eBay seller with impeccable feedback. BBB also lists as A+ rating. Just bought a 2010 GMT II two tone with box and papers. FLAWLESS and I've had a 1994 SS Sub as well as a 2006 two tone blue face sub so no rookie here. Did not come with warranty card as previous owner "lost" it. Watch looks genuine but I am questioning the luminosity of the markers. They glow bright initially and then fade quickly. I have a luminox that glows the same 24/7, different style of luminaries I understand, just curious if this is common with the newer lumination?

Any tips on verifying authenticity without cracking open the back of the case at a an authorized dealer.

BTW, paid $8995 delivered for V series 2010 model.

TIA

I wouldn't worry about your new watch being counterfeit. I have personally bought 3 watches from watchuwant.com in the past, and everything has been 100% perfect.

Also I think you cold save a couple hundred buying from their website and not off them on eBay.

i have heard nothing but good things about them. and i have seen many of their listings. i have never thought any could be an issue.

Really like the updated bracelet and clasp. Biggest issue was no warranty card on a year old watch. Hmm..... Excellent comm's with Natalee. Markers glow BRIGHT at first and then dim to about the same as my '06 Sub. Any experience with how long your markers glow BRIGHT after exposure?

TIA,
Chris

I have sold a watch to them before, no issues with transaction.

can't really compare Rolex with a Luminox - they 'specialize' in high luminosity, even use tritium in some models as I understand.

As far as WUW - I have been dealing with them for over 8 years now, and everything has been flawless. If you have concerns, call OJ Whatley, the owner, and voice them. I am sure he will put your mind at ease.

Have bought from them personally, grade A people. As Greg said above give OJ a call, he will straighten things out. Regards

Good experienced. Honest seller. No worries.

I bought and sold my Panerais with them they are good.

Bought my safari from them and the transaction was acceptable. I would do business again.

Thanks for the replies and the info. This version of bracelet and dial are impeccable compared to my '06. What took them so long to kick the quality, detail and functionality up?
