With 100% humidity, 40 is hell. Without it's kind of bearable in my opinion.
Haha, I guess I can cope as I'm used to erratic Dutch drivers based on summertime experience on the German Autobahn ;)
Hi Menno, thanks for your reply! I don't think insuring it will be a...
Hi Wexford,
good info so far, thanks!
I will stay for one year minimum - probably more like 2 years. Don't like the thought of selling it as it's quite unique ;)
It is 12 years old. Managed...
Hi,
does anyone have experiences with the Dutch Road Traffic and Transport Authority (RDW) and their inspections?
I'll move to the Netherlands later this summer to work in Amsterdam and was...
Wow, do you sister and her husband regularly throw £3k items into the bin, so that this wouldn't be too "hot" for the cleaner to move on? But £30k is? The police believed that? Just ridiculous!
...
Would like to quickly report: happy ending for me as well. Case is permanently closed (in my favour). Big relief!
Seller kept sending me dozens of delusional texts, threats and obvious lies...
Of course it was - I'm not crazy (yet) ;)
I sometimes get comments like "Nice fake [insert Swiss brand]". Solely based on the fact that "these don't come on cheap plastic straps". True experts :D

To hamper something like this from happening in the future, we should mark all watches in TZ-UK circulation with a little engraving on the caseback ;)

You should go to bed mate ;)
Glad your Porsche only suffered minor "injuries"! I actually wonder why not more cars come with a mechanism like in the old Saabs, where you can't pull out the key unless you've put the gearbox into...
Thanks for the heads-up! Looks interesting, will definitely go!

Just a little update: (not satisfying yet)
PayPal had sent me another mail, saying that they had voted in my favour - but asked me to return the watch to the seller.
I then called them up again...
Come to Brands Hatch open track day tomorrow! I'll be there as well :) (btw, anybody else coming by any chance?)

Nasty story. If someone would do this to me and I had his address...... But this is also why the seller was so keen to have me send the watch back to him. I already assumed he would try to pull that...
I didn't have to pay a penny for that document! They also said that it was in their interest to have those sellers and watches taken off the market. Great customer service!
Best,

Yes, I was a bit scared that they would want me to post it to PP in Switzerland first or something. No fuss at all though. The lady was very nice ;)
PayPal gave me 10 calendar days from the date...
Went to Patek Philippe / 15 New Bond Street in London around noon to get the watch looked at and certified. Have to say that they were extremely understanding, helpful and more than willing to...
What saddens me though is that many reputable and sincere sellers probably get scammed this way. Buyers simply claim to have received a fake and take a newly purchased replica to a dealer to get it...
Okay, I haven't opened an Ebay case - but stuck with the Paypal case (Ridiculous that there are these two options in the first place).
Been in touch with the seller and he is innocent of course....
Damn, I opened the claim via Paypal now... not sure if I can also open one in Ebay? Hopefully I can find an AD who's willing to provide me with proof.
Will also report that Gumtree ad to the police....
With Paypal dispute you mean the claim via resolution centre in Ebay, right? Not via the Paypal website?
Thanks,
Al
Thanks guys, that makes me feel a bit better.
We're talking about a Patek Calatrava from the 90s and as you can imagine not a pity amount... I saw the auction fairly late, one day before the end -...
