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: FS: Omega Speedmaster 145.01267

: Scammer? Seller is from Uruguay. No handwritten note as per rules,
: so I asked the seller for references. I was sent a blurry PayPal
: account picture from a transaction, but no email visible,
: impossible to ID. Seller confirmed to put the watch on hold, but
: when i asked for a picture from the watch set to a certain time,
: I was told he can only do it in the evening when got home after
: work. Then few minutes later I received an email saying that
: (despite the promise he'd put the watch on hold) he sold it to
: someone else in Italy.

Almost same story here, asked him about the case/back/hesalite, we agreed for a price and he told me the pieces were on hold for me, then I asked him more pictures but he was at work and the watch was at home. Few hours later he came back to me with other pictures. What did he say when I asked why the case back inner marking wasn't the same :) ? Well it was another non working 145.012SP67, first one had been sold..
Again I asked for a picture of the parts I was going to buy, basically a close-up of the Speed without the dial and the movement (he wanted to keep that), but suddenly he doesn't want to do business with me any more, maybe it's a problem with Google translate... :D
