Don't consider the option mentioned above of trying to keep it below the radar. You make a criminal of yourself, create a mess for others and make everyone else pay higher...

As we drop below 1,000ft I remain convinced that the dial is genuine.

No way of knowing if it is original to the watch, but nor is that of any great consequence.

As for taking pics with any...

Images taken from a little closer would assist, but it looks good from our helicopter.

As I've said, I WAS asked to do this series, as I am most of them. I replied that I would be happy to, provided it was not a work of fiction with a pantomime cast of stooge customers participating to...

It is reported that two watches have been obtained by a crude payment / mail order fraud :


Rolex G102319 (possibly a model 178243) and

A gent's 1987 Patek Philippe quartz in 18ct gold on...

Thankyou re my 1016.

As for the 6350, oooh......waffle dial, lollipop seconds hand and provenance galore! Wow.

It's a 6150 with gilt chapter ring dial - and look at that minute hand.

Condition of the dial would be critical.

It shows again how important the small differences are. Below is the gilt dial...

That "gold" Pearlmaster fake......hmm, I'm not convinced that it really was gold.

As for smashing it with a hammer in front of the client "to recover the gold," why not simply dismantle it as the...

As often, the production company was directed straight to us to see if we were willing to be filmed.

I said that we were happy to be featured, provided it was not the usual work of fiction with a...

It's true.

Lots of nice people on tz, especially when you encounter them in the real world...but there is a selfish and demanding minority. There are those who think that because I am a dealer and...

No register can definitively rule out those things, but I believe that in the last five years the ALR one has clearly proved itself the largest and most effective. From here its success should only...

The internet offers unlimited exposure.

Imagine if the buyer saw this and confirmed that he had already collected the watch.

Might be worth publishing some specific details.

My account came directly from a "decent independent AD" bemoaning the situation and with nothing to gain from fabrication.

What do you base your comment on? Have you tried to buy many Day-Dates in...

The five year estimate for a Day-Date is genuine, but I believe that asking different main agents, especially away from the South of England, may give shorter lead times to delivery.

Perhaps this will be the case for some, especially as support reduces, but so far it has not been the prevailing "story."

Loan books at pawnbrokers across the country down c. 30% in a year. Lots...

Stocks of new and pre-owned Rolex have been wiped out after an extraordinary 2020.

A tsunami of fun-money that wasn't spent on foreign holidays was instead spent on "that watch / diamond you / I...

I believe that some main agents would commonly sweeten a parcel to a grey dealer: a steel Daytona, Submariner or whatever for every so many big gold / gem-set pieces taken. In other instances one...

A letter of authenticity ? Might as well give Stevie Wonder a dart-board.

This also has no relevance to the question of a watch being stolen.

Of course not, but some dealers have always been or are less rigorous than others.

Would anyone who has bought a watch from Watchfinder be willing to confirm how they were reassured it wasn't stolen, following the Nadeem Malik case?

Please explain why this is mad :

Like watch
> pay market price, which has a fairly narrow cost / sell spread as it is a popularly traded model
>> enjoy for as long as wish
>>> get most of...

The Milgauss 1019 is a rare and very smart model, surprisingly large when you first find one.

Peace of mind?

You checked they weren't stolen then? https://www.policeprofessional.com/news/a-tick-for-support/

Or had a fake President bracelet on.....

Wonder if Hatman14 is still with them?

He seemed to have a good line in trade that didn't go through the shop floor and loved supplying tz-uk members with desirable models.

I recently bought a steel Daytona 16520 that wasn't hidden, but placed on top of a wardrobe while decorating.

It was then thought lost until found there ten years later.
