Not a rippoff at al.
My first order with eddie was a 1600 usd watch back in 2006 on TRC, i recieved watch before he got payment at all.
A true gentlemen, maybe he was in wrong time in space. Who knows...
All i know is he was no big time dealer, he was true collector doing favors to others...
No nonsense at all, Frank is talking about new eta's. Chances are slim indeed. Surplus recycled genuine ETA's or hybrids, possibly yes. Who knows the Selitas sold in replicas are in fact genuine?
Back in 2004 old timer Klink claimed the chinese had eta copy's. Nobody took him serious and the claim was ridiculed by many. Couple of years later turns out he was right.
Never assume anything in the rep game. Many if not most dealers are no watch movement experts and may be fooled themselves.
Gen crystal doesnt mean jack sjait on a fundamentally wrong watch.
Sure spend the 400 either way, you would still be called out with this crowd. Any other crowd would care less.
TW is wrong even with gen crystal. The Yachty is wrong with the SA3135.
Someone famous in the rep game once said. A rep is a rep.
