Is Mary Ling (marywatch88) a trustworthy dealer?

[GingerBubba]

I've probably bought 70 or 80 watches from her over many many years. She's one of the best. Very trustworthy. The only downside that I've occasionally found is that she doesn't always seem to have immediate access to big brand, new releases - as in it might take a week or two longer for her to get access to the hottest/newest stock (occasionally).

Why don’t they just charge a little extra and use FedEx?

I can't recall if Mary offers this, but many TDs offer this sort of choice for a price (or at least they used to). I get the impression that the main factor in the TDs choice of standard shipping method however is safety; what's most likely to escape the clutches of customs.

My watch from her broke within 5 min, the crown fell off and the piece that attahches the two fell into the watch and a pin fell out and bracelet came apart. Waiting on her response.

Just curious, was your reason for using her the same as OP? Bc she responded quickly?

Actually yes and she had good references. I just don’t understand what courier she used and why it is taking so long.

I ordered two vintage Daytonas so it wasn’t new product. She got the pieces right away and had QC quickly so I felt confident.

Mine just cleared customs here in the USA and has to go to her NJ friend to be shipped back to CA to me.
