Yup, thank you @watchyouwant, I explained this very thing to my seller, but he feels safest waiting for the whole hold period. Sigh...

My mission is to get him to join Omega Forums!

Myron

Is that possible? PP needs to see delivery done , if money laundering is the reason. If he does not ship, you might get your money refunded and no deal done ? Never had that scenario before....

Really the only thing that is slightly concerning is the black color of the little piece on the movement that is the adjustment lever. I'm not sure what you call this thingamajig, but every other one of these movements I've seen it's been silver/steel colored, not black.
It's just a reflection.
- warranty card? Easily reproduced but I don't really care.
I would bet on original. When the extract comes back and shows delivery to Mexico you'll know the papers are original for sure.

One pet peeve I have is that many times when these watches were sold and the bracelet length adjusted by the AD, they would remove a couple of the folded links instead of the (much easier to remove) spring links. 馃槙
The band which looks to be in terrific shape is missing two folded links (notice the inconsistency in the taper) but has all the spring links..

Thanks @ndgal, I appreciate your observation. I hadn't caught that, but it's clear now.

@watchyouwant , yes, this is what PayPal says. They are imposing a 21 day hold on the payment, or they will release payment 24 hours after delivery if seller chooses to ship before then, whichever occurs first. I tried to get my seller to go for the latter, but he wasn't comfortable with that.

Hopefully for him you don't find something you like better before the 21 days elapse. Most sellers like to close the deal.
