This forum is for BUYING, SELLING and TRADING only--not for discussing watches. Please limit postings to specific ads for buying, selling or trading watches, parts or accessories that that match at least one of the following categories:

Please see our ChronoTrader Policies and Terms of Use. Learn more about How To Include Photos In Your Postings.

Rules: Postings must be an ad announcing an intent to sell, buy or trade. Full item description and photo(s) must be posted within the message here, not as links to other websites. Links to online auctions and other sites: Links to online auctions, dealer sites or other listings of items are permitted, but you should be careful to ensure that such listings will comply with our other ChronoTrader Policies. In addition, we request that sellers linking to online auctions or listings offer some benefit or accomodation to ChronoTrader readers (for example, some discount or an undertaking to end an auction early, to keep a watch "in the family"). Photos must be of the actual item for sale in its present condition. No counterfeit or replica products. No post for the same item may be repeated within 7 days, except to lower the asking price. Commercial dealers are limited to three unique posts per day. [More...]

Update: Scammer - Vintage Straps

Just warning the community about this online site that sells watch straps - http://www.vintagestraps.it/

I placed and paid for a set of straps last September 15, 2017 via their site. I got confirmation that same day. Since then, the following has happened:

Email update on Sept 20: "We will do our best to ship for end of the month".
Email update on Oct 6: "Is been scheduled for next week, we will ship in 7/10 days. You will get an email with the tracking."
Email update on Oct 26: "it is on production are you sure the buckle is 18mm (bigger than at the lugs 17mm) and not 16mm?"

Since then, I've emailed them again (even asking for my money to just be refunded) and messaged the owner (a certain Andy Bel) on his Facebook, but sadly, I never got any reply.

Avoid this company.
