Buy the seller - always. If you even have a remote question about who you are buying from, then don't buy there.

I buy at auctions. What auction are you looking at? There are some PP that I will NOT buy at auction due to the very good fakes, youreally need to do your due diligence. You will need to see casebacks (for case numbers and Ref Numbers) see the movement for movement numbers and lots of photos of the case from lots of different angles. Does it have a PP strap? PP buckle? Any box or papers? Also make sure that the photos are HD. CONDITION, CONDITION, CONDITION!!!!
