This has been on my mind for some time and I cannot remember if it has been posted here before. I just came across this thread and thought we can share our views on this.
From my experiences/encounters selling watches and other items here, I often come across people wanting to view the sale items. I think it is only fair to view and feel what you want to buy but I think we also have to be fair to whoever we are making the request with, ie if the seller is a watch dealer or plainly a collector/owner who has a main occupation/job. I believe this is self-explanatory right?
I feel that the purpose of "viewing" should be mainly to ascertain the condition of the item to be bought and whether the descriptions and authenticity of the said item are correctly described by the seller. Of course unless the seller welcomes "non-obligatory viewing" whatsoever, any would-be buyer should bear in mind that not every seller has the luxury of time and mobility. At the end of the day, the potential buyer can still back out of the deal for whatever reason he/she may give but it is good if we can all have certain common understanding for one another.
If you read this and happen to be a seller/buyer over such dealings, pl don't take things to heart. We all want convenience to ourselves but a little understanding will go a long way.
