A marketplace for chronographs, dive watches and other tool-type wristwatches and timepieces

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...]

Re: Adams Smith Seems to be a Scammer

: "Adams Smith" was kind enough to offer me a nice
: Siffert for $3,000.

: I asked for photos, and he provided two photos. Dragging these two
: photos to Google's image search (using FireFox), I was able to
: determine the websites from which Adams had grabbed these two
: photos . . . These two photos are actually two different watches
: (different executions, to be more specific) from two different
: dealer websites.

: The recommendation here is to be very careful, in whatever setting
: a stranger may offer you a watch.

In addition to echoing what Jeff says, from a newbies point of view, thanks to the scammers out there, it make's it darned difficult for those of us who are on the level to gain any trust. But yes I guess best to rather treat with suspicion than get ripped off. Am enjoying the forum, thanks guys.
