We also have at least 3 members who have bought from Gregg / fabsuisse with good reports (one being me).


Make that 4. Very pleased with my memovox from him.

I'm currently interested in a Speedmaster Broad Arrow Co-Axial that bigg86969 is selling. I'm just unsure because he's selling it at $4,100 (brand new, with tag and international warranty).

I have been reading his feedback and he seems legit. However, there are some negative feedback as well. What do you guys think of this?

I'll start out with two that every one of the regulars likes for their products and fair listing practices.

Updated list:
Alex - alex200373 http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/alex200373/m.html * please ask about individual watches offered by this seller - we've seen occasional questionable practices.
Kelaran straps - soulsis78556h http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/soulsis78556h/m.html
kaberui http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/kaberui/m.html
jmryshi http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/jmryshi/m.html
sabashioyakiz1 http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/sabashioyakiz1/m.html
bigg86969 http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/bigg86969/m.html
Gregg - fabsuisse http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/fabsuisse/m.html
Scott / Times of Plenty - timesofplenty http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/timesofplenty/m.html

For details on them, search the forum for threads about purchases made by members.
Is this list still current? Are there any other trusted sellers (eBay or otherwise) that ΩF collectively recommends aside from the aforementioned?

Great resource, BTW. Thanks!

i second this Alex is very cool BUT i also heavy second * please ask about individual watches offered by this seller - we've seen occasional questionable practices. (he REALLY) likes adding additional "Random" value to his watches... bought a ST 368.0845 (constellation chronometer FIRST watch with an integrated strap Show at Basel 1969) i bought it so i can have "the first integrated bracelet on a watch" NOT because Alex decided it had an Imaginary WHITE GOLD BEZEL the watch in question has NEVER been produced with a white gold bezel but it was all still there blatantly in the title 18CT WHITE GOLD &SS, but i never even pulled him up on it! i dont think people like these watches anymore so i still got it for £380 and was happy because i never had one... never mentioned the bezel again....

I've heard nothing but good things about the first 3 there, though haven't bought anything from them myself. Nothing wrong with the 4th, just don't recognize the name.
Number 3 is excellent bought from him and he is helpful and honest

Be very careful with Japanese sellers they are not all reputable...movement swapping is not uncommon

One other area to be very cautious of and that is Catawiki lots of horror stories including The fact that they pay money to the seller when the seller hasn’t even delivered the goods ....and if you attempt to get a rebate they either don’t pay you back or they deduct their commission and any other postage

Lots of fake products and Catawiki make sure that they have no addresses or easily recognisable seller Identification so that obtaining any type of rebate or address it’s almost impossible ....very very problematic no people identification so that obtaining any type of rebate or redress it’s almost impossible very very problematic dealing with these people

their after sales service is absolutely appalling
Watch from Malaysia never turned up ...they paid the seller and I could get my money back from them and that’s one of four separate incidents I am aware of Would love some advice as to how to recover monies from these people

Just had a very good experience with closer0924. The watch was in an even better condition than described. Smooth transaction, speedy delivery and efficient communication. Recommended.

Any idea what happened to jmryshi? I bought from him a few times, very pleasant to deal with. His store appears to be boarded up (well, the internet equivalent anyway).
