·Unpopular opinion: for a newbie, I'd still recommend Omega Enthusiast for peace of mind (even after doing due diligence).
Have there been questionable watches he has sold? Probably (like most reputable vintage dealers). There is nothing 100% risk-proof in life. But, of the hundreds of watches he's sold (thousands now?), bet the vast majority have been 100% fine and original. If a problem were to arise (regarding a fake watch), I'm certain he would fix that since his reputation and business is on the line (doubt he would risk that).
Yes, his prices are high; but god forbid he can make a profit since it probably is his main income (YouTube streaming probably is not much). One must also factor servicing costs (unfortunately there are many butcher watchmakers out there who can completely ruin a watch) which he clearly has competence and a passion for. Have not heard any complaints on his servicing or warranty he provides.
