Sorry if I was confusing.. I'm back on the guy who lives near me.
Since everyone on here seems convinced that the HK people will bait and switch me. And that no good close 1:1 rep exists for the 335, should I feel a bit safer buying the used "real" 335 off of the local seller then?
As in, is everyone certain that if I go look at the 335 and it looks good front and back (good as in matches the panerai.com stock pictures) that I should be assured that it's real and I should buy it? It's $13k so just to clarify this guy is selling what he says is a real watch.
Basically the whole reason I even started up my rep research again is because I didn't want to get cheated from a reseller of the actual real 335. So if you're all telling me there is no close rep 335 then I should be safe buying the 335 off of the used seller of "real" panerais?
