First order with Steve

[yeshman]

I am considering to buy 4 watches from Steve:

The payment options are a little mixed.

Alipay + wise transfer.

In discussion of a possible negotiation - will let everyone know how this goes.

Steve is very responsive so far and says he can deliver despite CNY delays. I am not sure if he is just saying but he said the watches are in stock.

The watches I am considering buying from Steve is:

Aquanaut Ref. 5167 40mm SS/RU black/ Num 3KF V3 330SC
Nautilus Jumbo 5711 SS/SS Blue Dial 3KF V4 324
Submariner 126610LN 41mm SS/SS Black Bezel Clean SH3235 (apparently)
Daytona 126500LN 40mm SS/SS Black Dial Clean SH4131 Super Clone

will let you know if the deal happens

Hmm unfortunately the deal could not go ahead because Steve has a certain margin which I understand. I'm surprised to hear him say that Andiot is potentially selling a fake due to the VSF submariner being cheaply listed than the clean one. Not sure exactly how this is grounds for one TD to suggest another TD is selling a fake. Perhaps it was to make a sale or to disregard potential price match. Weirdly I offered him a half way mark between Andiot prices and Steve's but unfortunately he declined. Attached is a screenshot of his accusation of another TD.




Sadly the deal cannot go ahead despite 4 watches being bundled. But again not complaining and completely understandable. Steve was prompt and always responsive. He is efficient. But the suggestion that another TD could be selling a fake of a fake (ah the irony) seems a little callous for me to consider future, big purchase business.

Let me know what you guys think. I'm new to the forum. On reddit I have seen some suggestions that Steve provides QC that has not been true. Has anyone experienced this?
