True Facet?
 
Has anyone bought off there? I have bought an IWC from Crown and Caliber and had good luck, but True Facet seems to have ok deals

something seems fishy here

I've seen that page. Looks legit. Seller ships to them to authenticate and then ships to buyer if it checks out. That watch you posted has no box and papers. Also aftermarket parts too.

yeah I noticed that it is basically a fake hulk in the sense that it didnt come from the factory like that

I steer clear from any place selling this stuff. Too many other legit places IMO.

Just wondering how your purchase turned out? Was looking at a few watches on that site.

Crown & Caliber
 
I am interested in buying a pre-owned Rolex from Crown & Caliber, but I am always distrustful of buying second hand. I want to ensure that what I am buying is authentic.

Has anyone bought from C&C and what is your trust level for the authenticity of your purchase?

I think he posts on here? look at the who's who section.

My biggest concern buying from some of these “trusted” online grey dealers is whether or not they actually service the watch in full before they sell it. Not sure if they give it the works, movement, pressure testing, etc. I feel like that would cut into their margins significantly so they probably just give it a good look. Then when the 1 year warranty runs out you are stuck paying for a full service. I still think a lot of them are better than Ebay obviously.

Looks like it turned out OK. Though, he's now sold it
