My rant

Bottom line is: People should have the correct expectations of pre-owned watches. I did not promise anything like BNIB or mint conditions. If they expect a watch in such conditions, then be prepared to pay the original price for it.

Hi watchpassionist: his name isnt what you think. The person i dealt with is a newbie to this forum.

Agree. Want to buy 100% then go AD and pay AD price. Want to pay preowned price, then don't expect 100%. Problem is there are people who want to pay preowned price and get a 100% watch.

wash and then after use, put it inside a sleeve or something.

however, it is rare because it is not suppose to collect particles. just have to make sure you keep it as clean as possible.

noted, usually, i wash, and chuck in a clean icecream container. cheers for the advise, never wouldve thought that microfibre cloth will be such a pain in the butt.

Totally agreed except that getting from AD may also not be 100% ...

There may also be some scratches due to handling.

Then you may want to warn us because some of us may be dealing with this person now or in future, and since you already had this encounter, it is good to post the information here; at least the nick if you are not comfortable to share more personal information. It is not for any ill purpose but a precautionary measure so that if I come across him in my future dealing, I will be more careful. This is not going to stop me from coming in contact with this person as long as he is a genuine buyer/seller, but I'll just have to be wary of some of those actions.

Alternatively, there is the iTrader function where you can positively and/or negatively rate a member here whom you had encounters with.

abit harsh action over a watch yeah?

Not harsh la.... D*** mean DUCK in the mouth leh....haha

Its terrible to meet with these 'watch-lovers', they simply do not show respect for others time and watches. Its just unfortunate you ran into 1, but fret not as Im sure for every rudies you meet, you meet at least more goodies.

1 thing i learnt, state all details (eg. your nato etc) before meetup and be quick to stop certain stupid behaviors like polishing with their clothes or serviette, use them on their glasses instead LOL..dumb a**

Hope you get to sell it at your best price possible. cheers

Thanks bro. I'll take note of that. Anyway, I think i will still be keeping my U1 for now as a daily beater while saving up for either a U Boat or Pam. Haha.

Whew.. DUCK ok. If not D*** to another guy's mouth??? er...

Serviette, tissue on crystal quite safe if only sapphire crystal.

No no for AR coated or mirror finished surface. But once you start wearing, the swirls will come.

Buying preowned, even a few months old, one cannot expect a perfect watch. It can only be perfect if the owner never wear it or watch being polished.

Seems like the buyer expected a new watch condition. For a U1, he can just pay a little more to get a new one if so particular.
For me I m ok with light swirls, scratches. Will get it anyway. But not dents, that will cause a lots of material lost if want to polish away.

Pam bro Pam. Uboat also nice, but you got to consider lower resale.

Haha, Pam is a little out of budget for me. For me, I'm not too concerned about re-sale value as I prefer to keep my watches.
