Buying from overseas dealer
Hi I'm negotiating with a dealer overseas in a South American country.
I'm concerned about walking out of the store with 50k worth of watches. Am i being too paranoid? Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk |

But anyway, just exercise caution and do deals quick. Don’t dwell and dither. I find that speed can help knock out any potential malfeasance or criminal plotting. You can also hire some security for little $USD to accompany you. |

Some dealers would either deliver to your hotel or provide you with secure transportation.

Paranoid. But some paranoia is a natural preservation instinct. Unless its truly worth the risk, maybe don’t bother. It’s just a watch. |

I would stay in America if youre looking for a safe transaction. A lot of scammers everywhere, but nobody can help you if you get scammed overseas.

If you have good reason to worry, then don't do it.
