Good morning ladies and gentleman.
I have decided to give a go to the local classified ads and found a guy selling a lot of "luxury watches", all in the 150-200$ range and marked as "negotiable". After manifesting my interest he sent me this pictures and offered to meet me to show them in person. Honestly from this pictures I don't see any major red flags, for 150$ each it's quite cheap, even for replicas, and has the obvious advantage of eliminating the waiting period and the risk of it having them stuck in customs.
If I do meet him my checklist will me the movement (making sure it runs and it's mechanic and not some quartz POC); the overall quality (weight, material, detail) and color/brightness of the lume.
What are your thoughts on this? Has anyone made this kind of deal? How did it go down? Anything else I should be checking?
