Re: 2231.80 - verifying authenticity

Thank you, Derek, for the info. I read all of what you recommended, and am a bit torn. On one hand, I feel that if the watch is as genuine as one with a serial number, then the likelyhood of running into any problems (repair need or legal) is most likely low, so I'm happy I saved 50%, but on the other hand a part of me is concerned that if I do have problems with the watch, mechanically, I may run into trouble trying to get it repaired. I am not however worried about getting arrested! What are your thoughts on the potential need for repair, and the likelyhood I'd run into problems?

Thanks again,
Beno
