Watch Chest, any experiences?

I am looking for an 11 series DJ in a specific configuration and my search on eBay/Chrono24 has led to an on-line dealer named Watch Chest than seems to have quite a few for sale.

Watch Chest is located in Missouri. Anyone have experience with this dealer?

Based on my personal experience, which included several misrepresentations and ultimately a swapped dial they tried to fool me with, I would steer clear.

116233 or 116231
Super Jubilee bracelet
White or Silver dial with/batons

Most concerned about bracelet stretch and bezel/case sharpness.

Ooh ya, cool ref! I was on the hunt for a 116231 this year too. Definitely take your time and try to find the perfect one. It'll be worth it if you can find something mint, the bracelet really makes this one stand out.

Did you ever get one?

I just bought a 116231 on ebay with their Authentication/money back guarantees so I am excited. I am told it is a safe queen so I am excited.

Ended up not going with Watch Chest...they had a few 116233s that I liked, but I found the more rare rose gold 116231 in mint condition (and a better price) from another seller so I jumped on it.

They have a storefront in Branson, MO that caters to us codgers that frequent the crooner shows there. I suspect that this clientele isn't overly fussy and probably isn't as interested in the details as a WIS would be. The also are big on eBay. As others have said, details are not their thing and their pictures may not be of the watch you end up getting.
