I have been approached by a gentleman that shall remain un-named, to try and advise him about a problem he has. I thought that you guys may have some advice on this............ he's bought a McQueen Monaco off of ebay from a guy that advertises amoungst other things that he made sunglasses for Elvis,Steve Mcqueen who is based in California. The watch was delivered as promised and everything is spot on........apart from the serial number,which has been ground off of the case back and the warranty card,that is blank.
The sellers assures the buyer that its a genuine item,and although i'm not in you guys league,it all looks good to me. The seller has not offered a reason why the serial number is missing but keeps insisting that the warranty is valid with Tag. So,today i rang Tag Uk and they confirmed that no serial number = no warranty. Now......here's the thing......does our man send back the watch,as the seller say's he will supply a replacement.......or does he insist that the seller send another,before he returns the original?.
UK v'S US price difference's make buying from the US via the internet almost 50% cheaper than here in the UK.......Although as this proves,its not always worth the risk.
Do anyone have any pearls of knowledge about why this watch should have the serial number removed if it anything other than stolen ?.
Regards
Bryan
