Hi all,
Interesting experience over at one of the other forums. I'm normally just an RWI guy but joined one of the other groups to post in the wanted section. As per my signature, I'm after a watch that I'd give a damn kidney for and thought I'd start looking outside this group to maximise my chances. A member PM'd me with photos of a 116622 rhodium and the seller assured me it was a Noob. with a 3135 movement. They had only a few posts on their account information as well and stated that they paid an extra 250 euro for a new 3135 clone for the watch and waterproofing and had spent around 600 euro in total.
The messages were going back and forth each day until I agreed to the price, but asked what type of movement (SA/SH/VR etc) and if they could put it up as a reserved sale and we'd take it from there. I also asked if they wouldn't mind showing me a photo with the case back off. That's when the communication stopped. It's been days and a few messages from me but nothing from the seller. Makes me think that had the sale been done over a PM then I might not have received anything.
Just curious if this has happened to anyone else before as it seemed very fishy to me.
Thanks in advance.
