Wow are times getting that bad??

I know no date Subs aren't everyone's cup of tea but how did it take this watch at this price so long to sell??That's almost 600 bills less than I paid from a great top seller here,,and I thought I got a fair price!

Some people get nervous about buying from someone with so few posts.

I probably would. I know for sure I'd pay more from a trusted seller for the same watch. Peace of mind is worth a lot to me.

No offense to the seller. I just don't know him, which is exactly my point.

Personally, I'm much more concerned with the quality of posts rather than quantity.

He only took 10-11 days to sell the watch. Not bad in my eyes.

That seems fairly reasonable.

His name is James. I have bought 3 watches from him and he is a pleasure to deal with. Ships overnight insured calls to confirm delivery. Top notch service.

The price isn't out of this world. Actually it's pretty much the duty free price.

Works out to £4,200 and a 114060 from duty free would cost you £4,125.

Edit: Also he may not be a top trusted seller but he does have references. If there was a problem the people he's dealt with in the past could help you track him down.

Sorry I changed it. I meant he wasn't one of the big sellers like DavidSW. I did say after that he had references so I would deal with him.

Your details day you're from UK. He shipped one over to you from America ?
