Isn't the a7753 datewheel nearly twice as thick as the real one?

More little white lies?

Tag F1 ceramic looks nice, I think WBK sells them.

I ordered a couple items from him and got the quickly once they were mailed; however, it took him two weeks to get the packages mailed.

Ofrei has various a21j movements for under $20, why not get one and practice your watchmaking skills?

I did get lucky... and I mean lucky. I JUST bought a TAG Carrera Automatic Calibre 5 used from a gentleman in West Virginia. Some desk dive swirls on the bracelet (took it to the local TAG dealer and had it sent off to the watchmaker for a bracelet refinish at $50), but everything else looked great. The guy I bought it from received a Grand Carrera so he decided to sell. He spelled Carrera "carerra." I honestly think that, combined with his awful pictures worked in my favor. I talked to him beforehand and he was personable and seemed to know his stuff. Great feedback on 47 items and none of it was in watches. So, I won the auction at $654. I asked the dealer to ask the watchmaker to make sure it was authentic before doing the work. I'm actually going to the local AD tomorrow to pick it up. I'll be sure to take pictures and post in the TAG section because I want everyone's professional reassurance that I did by a gen (there's always a little doubt in the back of your mind when you find these things on ebay).
Nice pickup, and a good lesson to the seller about the value of proofreading.

If their watch pictures show 10:10, it's a scam
...and I thought our dealers were ripping us off
