Safety Questions For Forum Purchases

Sorry if this may already be a post.

I am looking to make my first Rolex purchase from this forum and wanted to know what are some of the safety precautions and questions that you guys exercise before buying from someone on here?

Thanks

1. Don't buy from someone without multiple references (the more the merrier)
2. ask the seller for tagged pics
3. ask the seller about their authentication process
4. avoid deals that scream "too good to be true"

As a rule, I only buy from well known established sellers on the Forum starting with the Boutique group and possibly a couple others that are well established sellers and known to the community as trustworthy.

The Forum doesn't sell anything, so you are not buying "from this forum".

You are contacting an individual on the Internet, and as such, you need to exercise all the caution that you can to ensure that you do not become a victim.

You need to be comfortable with the seller and the agreement you enter into for payment, shipping, etc.

For peace of mind, go with a trusted seller especially for your first Rolex.
