I also had a not too shining experience with nbtimes:
One of the questions I asked before buying a datejust was if it had been serviced. He replied that it had been serviced two years ago. It arrived very well packaged and as described in the pictures. However, I took it to the watchmaker who said the seals were old and some other seals were missing altogether, and the amplitude was a bit low as well as running 8 seconds slow.
When I emailed him about this asking how this was possible, he then said the watch had been serviced two years before he put it in a drawer, which was then another 2-4 years (he was not sure, sounds fishy). I did not bother to send back as it would be an added cost and the watch looked good. Annoying though, especially since I had to have the seals and gaskets replaced.
