Pretty sure you can get this from a TD for a lot less than that... I know I did.

is it the same specs and all tho?

not sure if he did something custom to this one or what? I posted the entire ad as he put it up do the specs look the same?.. and also thanks for replying.

That price is a rip-off. You can get a better price from the TD's here and with the Inca-bloc mod. And without the mod for a lot less.

It's the same exact watch from the same factory that the TD's are selling.

alright thanks. what would be a fair amount to offer this fellow for the watch if the 425 is overpriced? I like the idea of buying locally but not getting screwed in the process lol..

 

[projectologist]

Here is the same exact watch made at the same factory and this version has the upgraded movement with the correct Inca-bloc anti shock upgrade. So it's even more accurate than what this joker on CL is selling. And only $248. 3-day shipping to SoCal is another $35.

[projectologist]

What did the guy say to you when you did so

 

[xrus]

he told me that the difference between the two is with him I wont get my credit card stolen or the watch lost in transit..

anyway i even offered him $300 still and he turned it down.. o'well

Lol saw this ad since months ago. I actually almost bought that exact watch but discovered this place.
The rest is history.
Err..history in the making since I'm still a newbie

I'm sorry but I noticed that you've been here more than a year. Why are you still looking at CL?
You can have my recently purchased pam111 noob v4 for $300 locally! It's waterproofed already too! I'll just buy another one for $200? Lol
Let me know if you want any other watches lol.
Or hit up Stan, WBK. He's in the East. As in US East Coast.
You can thank me later by buying me a watch with all the money you save with Stan!!

ive been here more than a year originally i just looked around like to read and such. now im actually getting engaged in building a collection.. I spent a fortune on the gens and i love them all but now I would like to get a nice collection of reps too.. for one gen I can buy several reps so im going to go that route.. my newest watch is a breitling avenger diamond I paid alot for it. don't get me wrong I love it just the same but I could of bought OMG so many reps for the price I paid for that one watch. but then again Ive yet to see any good reps with diamonds as well and I wanted a bling watch lol. so far I got a couple of nice reps here and when I move I plan on buying many more since I cant really do international orders at the moment cause it takes too long and I wont be here in like 3 weeks ...ill be across the country lol

anyway hope that clears it up

No worries, just busting ur balls lol. But seriously I don't think I can recommend CL when you have a support like this place. Just trying to look out for a fellow member with like interestes..
