Kevin, I believe they all com3 freshly serviced, which is why they are warranted for 2 years.

I was told that some dealers....like car dealers....will find straw buyers and then get it back and put it out as CPO....... huge profit and screw the actual customer waiting.

CPO watches have to be three years old, or older, probably to prevent that exact scenario.

That sounds like something that should be remedied. My goodness! That’s just ridiculous.

You got flim flammed by the CPO program.

It's cool. We all do things we regret.

Kevin did not get flimflammed, if he paid the same as he would have paid a grey dealer. Why so argumentative? Chill!

It is not an implication that anyone not a "trusted seller" is a scammer either. But as this is the internet, you have to be careful.

We members call them trusted sellers, from personal experience. They don’t call themselves that. I always recommend the one with whom I’ve had experience. Why? Because he was pleasant, communicative, and got me the watch I wanted, in a timely fashion. I had gotten his name from another member here. Excellent, quick service, and he overnighted my watch to me. That was 10 years ago. He’s still a trusted seller here.
