Got an email from eBay over the weekend saying that the sellers account had been "compromised"... :)

I don't get it either. Don't see how you can scam buyers if they pay with Paypal...
Have also noticed that although the seller has a lot of positive sales history, this is the first thing the...
Indeed...
Odd that the listing says "Item location: Bedford, United Kingdom", but also says "Postage: Services from outside UK"... clearly one of these statements is wrong.
I'll be sure to report back once it turns up! Estimated arrival date is 1st Jan... :suspicion:
I know, the odds are definitely stacked against it being the real thing... worth a punt though as eBay/Paypal buyer protection is great when things are not as described.
Haha! Great picture :)
Bought one of these... it's either the bargain of the year or something truly awful will turn up!

New arrival this week:

It is of course entirely down to personal taste, but I would go smaller. I had the 38mm version and ended up selling it, mainly because I found it a bit large for a "dress" watch. I'd like to try the...
Thanks for the replies.
Dom - I have sent you a PM.
Don't know about Damasko but I just enquired with them about servicing a non-chrono Fortis and it was £280
All great suggestions so far - I would add the Junghans Max Bill to the list (although it would have to be second hand to meet that budget if you want the auto version).
Wow - what a watch!
Let me know if you decide to flip it ;)
Looking for someone who can bead blast a watch case for me.
I've been through all the previous threads on this subject but I can't find any places providing the service either in my area or who...
That is a very nice offer - thanks very much. I've decided to drop it into a watchmaker today though for them to take a look.
Don't know exactly, but it's between 5-10 years old.
Thanks all - looks like it's going in for a once-over then.
Thanks for the replies. Could well have had an impact, yes.
I would like to get it serviced, but just trying to determine if I might be in for an expensive shock once they open it up...
I have a watch with an ETA-2824 movement which is running seriously fast - approx 2 hours per day fast!
Had a look around online and after some research I thought it might be magnetised. Tested...
If I win the lottery this is the first thing I am buying!! So unique - love it.
Have to disagree here - the style of the watch makes it feels much larger than it's dimensions suggest. I have one and my only complaint is I would actually prefer it to be a bit smaller!
...
WOW! Amazing watch.
Personally I wouldn't have a problem buying a high value watch from eBay if the seller looks legitimate, because you can send it straight back and paypal will refund you if there is an issue with it....
Killer first post :thumbsup:
Welcome and thanks for sharing - very interesting stuff.
Straight ends - don't think curved ends would work due to the shape of the watch.
Here's mine currently on a PloProf style strap from Strapcode:
