Hello everybody!
I recently bought a AP Diver V3.5 form Toro Bravo, following members recommendations. I could not be happier. It is an amazing piece! Instead of buying a genuine Hamilton I bought that. I took it to my usual watch shop, they checked movement and water resistant, all was in order, indeed they loved the watch. I wanted to get rid of my G-Shock I use daily to work in the kitchen, as I am Executive Chef. I wanted a Swiss Eta movement again, as I want to keep the watches for a long time, and I want them to last and be serviced. I went to Timeshops. I chose a Bell & Ross, "Creme de la Creme" After having some problems trying to pay with my VISA I decided to send money with Western Union. A few days later they tell me they don't have the watch. After asking about several models they offer me the Jaeger-LeCoultre, nice watch. But my daily beater now went to over $500, no way I am using that for the kitchen!
I already sent the money, I felt I had no choice. I think they should have told me they didn't have it before I bought it...Communication was OK though. Today I had it checked they told me it says Swiss, movement looks good, but they doubt is an ETA as it does not have the ETA stamp. They sold me a Sellita movement?
Thank you for your help
