My sad but lucky experience!

If in doubt, check the brand new prices at AD, then mark down for the wear and tear, usage.. etc....

[enthuwatcher]

good advice.. hence research is very important before any purchase.

I bought my first rolex from this forum. Am lucky to buy a genuine complete set of rolex. I didn't send it to RSC for verification as the serial no. on the chapter ring match with paper. The quality of dial, bezel, logo, bracelet and little crown on crystal as well. Of course send it to RSC for verification is the best option.

Yo LostBoys,

This guy was posting for a model with quickset. After agreeing on a price, we meet up to deal. Of cos, u will check on the watch 1st rite? Upon checking, the watch has no quickset function. Then the guy panick and say go home check and never come down again. So whats my intention?
My intention is to warn fellow buyers to know urs stuffs b4 buying. It is to protect ourselves.

hi, the dial of QS Dj are quite visually different from 16xx DJ. he could have given wrong description but did he show you the same or wrong watch. if he did either way, that is misrepresentation.

Thanks for sharing... I think it's also our duty as a buyer to do our due reading up and research on the watches before trading too though. Just to protect ourselves...

Has been looking for a Rolex halfgold for dad big birthday. Finally found a good deal. But this guy is not selling the model he post. We all know halfgold got many models. He is trying to cheat me for selling at a higher model price but a lower model watch. Luckily for me, I know my stuffs. A piece of advice for all newbies like me is dun jump in stupidly. Always research 1st to prevent such thing from happening.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

haha if your good friend, no need deposit. Anywayis it a common practice for deposits?

i would think the practice for a deposit is subjective as it really boils down to the level of trust between the buyer and seller. but as a rule of thumb and as styleman mentioned, try not to give a deposit unless you know the person very well, have dealt with him previously or he has accumulated good feedback scores in sgroc.

[sg.banknotes]

Bro, I don't advise giving deposits. Even $100. Unless you know the guy very well, knows where he stays and he is your good friend.

Just exposed him for the benifits of others.
I also deposit $100 to get a omega, but the seller on that actual day to deal, said dont sell already. Must be someone offer a high price. Seller name jierong in garage sales. Wasting time
