"You know if you buy from certain online dealers (Watchery, World of Watches, Joma, ETC) you get 30 days to return no restock fee put on bill me later no money put out or no interest W/ 6 months to pay.. So no $ out of pocket try it on ,no like send back 6-8 bucks shipping they credit Bill Me later no cost there. Some go out buy the Rep to try out I get the Gen ,much cheaper and it is the actual watch!"
Posted this another thread on that flyback I bought, went back. So did the other the Glycine Men's Incursore Chronograph and the Clerc, guy did not have right links so again back it went. In the case of the Clerc I would have been the recipient of those significant resale loses you speak, wish he had the links. Using the above method and searching high and low for those deep internet discounts Panerai153 referenced is my modus operandi. I keep my outlay to zero and loses to minimum.
