Has anyone ever bought from eBay? The prices aren’t crazy and they have the “Authenticity Guarantee” and the watch is shipped to a 3rd party to validate its real. What are peoples thoughts?

A few months ago, an issue I’ve heard that was happening was that aftermarket dials were getting through but the case was legit at least on vintage watches. Maybe they’ve corrected this but I would still do your research on the seller

like

Aftermarket or “repainted” dials for vintage watches have always been a thing. Don’t count on the authentication to catch something that doesn’t have a tell-tale common fake sign. I don’t buy or sell watches on eBay at all anymore. It’s too faceless and the authentication is kind of a black box: who is it? What’s their process? Do they open up every caseback to check the movement? What happens if the authentication process damages the watch? Etc.

I’ve used it for a 3k and under and have come back mostly happy.

I’ve used it, but I wouldn’t buy a watch that’s got good fakes out there. Have purchased several Grand Seikos and been very happy.

I dunno I'm probably not buying from ebay unless it is a seller I recognize. I'm which case I'll just call them directly.

Used Ebay to buy a Grand Seiko when they were running a 10% off watches, up to $500 promo. Usually you can do better on Chrono24.

I always intended to wear with a leather strap but it took me far too long to get one. Although I did like the bracelet a lot more than I thought I would. The bracelet seems to be a constant knock on GS but I didn't find anything wrong with it. At least this model.

Has anyone seen Omega’s new Seamaster? Thoughts? I mean the only thing that’s stopped me from going 20,000 ft underwater is the right watch…unfortunately at 45.5mm in diameter and 56mm lug to lug, it’s too big for my small wrists. Oh well, guess I won’t be going underwater. Just kidding haha - I think it’s cool and I do like that they ditched the HEV
