    Deep into 4 figures (USD) typically. From the photos it looks like the two posts on the back may have been removed, but it is hard to tell from the angle of the photos. Are there still two short posts sticking up?

    FYI, the seller should scare you more. I bought a different dial from him 2 weeks ago. Sent via Italian Post. Shipment is late. Turns out it was returned to seller for more customs docs. No message from seller that there was an issue. Only lies. Had to get a refund through Ebay. Buyer beware when trading from Italy.

    Dear gemini.4, your dial was been sent as agreed trough Poste Italiane, the pack got unknown custom problems, and is still on the way back, non in my hand.
    You ask for refund and I immediately gave you full refund, also it I still haven't got it back.

    The shipping was been insured for 3000 euro at my own cost, you only pay the shipping. We had minimum 6 message in the last days about the case, so if there is a lier be sure this is not me.

    I thank GOD that I have very good reputation in real life, non only in the virtual life on the web, and I'm not interested to loose my reputation for a couple of dollars.

    Anyone can track the shipping on www.poste.it and will see that the pack, at today date, is waiting in an Postal Office in north Italy, for unknown custom problems.

    I hope I will receive back the dial very soon, is not extremely necessary to me to sell it again, but in case I will decide to sell it i will assure I did not sell it to gemini.4 also if it will pay for it all the gold of the world.

    This is the proof of shipping and the tracking number is ZC007171591IT go on www. poste.it and judge by yourself what is the truth.

    Not that anyone cares that much but here is the 10 day odyssey of this guy’s dial shipment. Ships on the 16th, notified by post office that package will be returned to him on the 23rd and delivered back to him yesterday, the 26th.

    On the evening of the 23rd, he sent me this EBay message in response to my inquiry of .......where is the package?

    “Today evening i gone to claim the shipping, they said the pack is entered to their custom office, the operator said 2-3 days it will be shipped to the USA. They will inform the progress and i will let you know.”

    Of course earlier that same day, Italy post had already sent back the package to him. Furthermore, in the 4 days since the 23rd, seller never bothers to enlighten me that the package was sent back AND DELIVERED to him.

    I’ve seen this Italian scam play out once before. Package is sent, wait, wait, wrong customs docs, sent back to sender, resent, arrives after 3 weeks in the USA and, low and behold, a 165024 SM300 miraculously morphed into 3 Used Italian AAA batteries. Once burnt twice learnt.

    Below is the tracking info:

    I think your posting of someone's personal information, when this was not initially done to you, undermines your very good reputation.
