Is seller a "trusted" seller on WUS?
Why not give a link to his sale?

Adam, He’s asking about a listing on TRF:

https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=585657

To the OP, go to Who’s Who section and search on M3Manny and you’ll see his feedback.

I think it's up to the seller to decide how he wants to get paid.

Of course but as for the buyer, he must protect himself. If the seller won ‘t do pay pal or at the very least accept a credit card so the buyer has recourse find another seller. I, for sure, am not going to pay in advance w/o protection, period .

If seller wants to meet me in QUEENS, I would happily verify it for you.

$18,500 for a black Daytona isn't that great of a price... I bet any of the trusted sellers who you can confidently wire money to could do that price, maybe even cheaper... I think Sohais had a black one last month for under $18k.

yes I would deffo want to protect myself if I am sending over 18k to someone I don't know, I am still negotiating with the seller and might take you up on the offer GLADIATOR & newbee1.

Sohais still has the Black Daytona available its pre owned 2016 where as this is new and slightly cheaper then what Sohais is asking for....

Don't know if the seller is legit or not, but no way I'd pay a premium for any Rolex. Even the Ceramic Daytona.


Nice of a few members to offer to help.
