brsmith1 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Is the yacht master legit? Don't have a keen eye for these watches, but would love to snag one as a present for someone. Anyone here mind giving a minute to do a quick spot check. Appreciate it everyone!

alligoat Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 The pics are fine, but the prices are too good! I tried to google United-Watches.net and couldn't find them, there is a unitedwatches.net w/o the hyphen in NY selling other types of watches. You can't tell from their website where they're located, no phone number, prices below wholesale. I like the solid gold YM for $6200, but $8-9K would be about as low as I would expect for a legitmate seller. All the markings of a SCAM-SITE.

Toadtorrent Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 $5,5000 - $7,500 is about market rate for a pre-owned YM...depending on availability of papers, dealer, and boxes. I'm unfamiliar with the site though...don't know if I would go Scam-site claims without further research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Sorry Toad, Here's what they're saying on one of the forums: http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?p=1438717 it's just a rebirth of a previous scam site- these guys move pretty quickly. it sure would be cool if the FBI could catch upo w/ these guys!

There we go...further research is indicating stay away. The prices seem to be on mark to used watch prices on El Bay though. Sucks. I would say look for the more reputable dealers on El Bay or Nanuq, Stephane, Freddy, etc use or can recommend. They've mentioned a few in various posts. Thanks Mr. Goat!! I didn't look into the company too hard...so didn't know what to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brsmith1 Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Guys: Totally appreciate it. If anyone wants to suggest some reputable dealers, please do so. Looking for a used yachtmaster for a friend. All the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnkay Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 That site is using pictures stolen from Top Notch Watches, a well-respected internet dealer who, for some reason, does not watermark his photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
