Todreamawatch - Trustworthy ?????

I have made a deal with Todreamawatch out of Illinois and I am sending my Seadweller in trade for a Tudor Ducati plus cash . I am shipping the watch tonight . He has great feedback on ebay but this transaction is being conducted outside of ebay . He seems trustworthy but I just want to know what people here have to say . Thanks in advance .

well no idea, would have considered one of the "trusted sellers" on this forum, then you don't have to second guess yourself

hope it works out well, post some pics!

Good luck. Don't know the guy at all. Personally would not deal with eBay straight up or in the manner you describe...but sounds like you are comfortable with the transaction.

I'm starting no to feel so good . I have already been screwed over once and never again . Generally when someone has 328 positive feedbacks on watches ranging from 3k to 10k it should be ok but I want to be 100 percent sure .

I am hoping someone here can chime in . Thanks .

He's a member here. As far as I can see he doesn't participate in the forum other than selling his wares.

He has a list of friends in his profile, some being "trusted sellers".

Communicate further, verify identity then proceed with due caution.

Firstly, PM him through Ebay and ask him to reply through TRF PM.

Unless all his accounts have been hacked or he's some sort of long term pouncer you're likely to be ok.

Bottom line, though. If you have concerns, drop the idea completely.

I know Todreamawatch. He's a good friend of mine and 100% trustworthy. I've done a couple deals with him, all have been above and beyond my expectations.

Also, just talked with Sergey. You are indeed dealing with him, and he wasn't hacked or anything. Proceed with confidence.

Sergey is ROCK SOLID. I've done several deals with him OUTSIDE of ebay and absolutely no issues. DEAL WITH CONFIDENCE.

Well , I think I might have offended Serge . My Seadweller is an M series and a full set . I decided I wanted to keep it a little longer and make sure I am 100 percent happy with the Ducati .

I sent Serge a couple of texts and a message through ebay that I still wanted the Ducati and would pay for it immediately . He never got back to me and it's been a few hours . I am a straight up person but I just had a change of heart on the trade right now . What I don't understand is why wouldn't he want to sell it .

I would like to thank everyone for their help and I am very sorry if I offended Serge .

Update , Serge got back to me and as usual I jumped the gun . Turns out he was out and about and didn't get my message until late . He is more than happy to ell me the Ducati without the trade . Not only is he selling it to me but he gave me an even better deal than advertised . I will post pics when I get the watch . My apologizes for the confusion . Once again , thanks to everyone here for their help and advise . Chris .

Hi everyone. I am also considering buying a watch from Sergey. But I'm not sure how to have the authenticity of the watch validated. I've read some horror stories about online purchases- the fakes are so good, they probably can fake the serial number! I've heard sometimes they put a fake movement. Any tips? Anyone had a recent deal with Sergey Kostin who can vouch for him? I see many positive posts were made by his friends.
