No. (10 characters, blah, blah)
Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.
No, wouldn't take the risk.
If I liked it, wanted it and trusted the description and the seller then yes. The chances of that happening are close to zero tho'

The used (home-made?) aftermarket dials on these usually look pretty bad.
...not the watch. If the seller is someone who has a solid reputation, there would be no hesitation on my part.
For me, the location of the watch is irrelevant, unless there is a question about the reliability of the postal service in said country. There are too many scam artists in any country, so if I see the mod I like there is no reason to generalize based on location.
Absolutely not under any circumstances. Have done so twice and I didn't learn the first time.

I took a punt on a top grade gold 2892 movement from the Philippines... cost me $8 delivered and was better than described. Took 3 weeks to get to me though.
No.. Dont like taking chances
No. No I wouldn't.Originally Posted by Soggeynuggets
If you couldn't care less about losing the money then go for it.
If price is right and seller ok. I have a refinished 6309 from over there. Case is a great job. Had to have it serviced here but that was in my calculation. Also check what you want. I insisted on original dial, and as it is refinished I needed a good insert aftermarket.
For the purists: I also have an all original. Had that first and made me want one that looks like new.
It is the one on the right.

Yes.
Can't see why not.
Yeah, what could go wrong?
Someone might miss the sarcasm?
Don't even entertain the thought. It'd be like buying a new set of hands and a new dial, under a new crystal, all attached to a corroded mess dripping in lube.
Absolutely not!
I've bought a couple of cheapy Seiko's from "watchcooking" in the past. They were fine for the money I paid.
