Not sending anything.
They’ve been ripping off PayPal and causing headaches for collectors for years.
This answers also the question why is so unwilling to send further pics of the watch ;-) Damned, I was nearly happy to have made a nice catch with only 1450USD

That price should have told you something

It did, this is why was trying to get more pics as at least some proof of evidence. But this conversation confirms my concerns ;-)

Wanted to share this with you: Just got this one ;-)
Appears all original but the crown - trying to replace it, which seems to be even more of a challenge than getting the Ranchero itself
What you think?

Damn it, took quite a while, but I finally got it back from my watchmaker with the crown changed... Here you go, what is your opinion?

Very nice watch, I love how the lume matches the strap, the black and brown also really do pop.

The crown also looks far nicer after the replacement, wear it well!

Thanks! Actually, it was already the seller, who chose the strap. And he indeed did a nice job, this was also my first impression. It was his father-in-laws watch, might be, he replaced the original crown with something more "touchable" for elderly people. Luckily, I can still work with the original crown ;-)

Oh really?

It's nice to see watches being passed on, like they were supposed to be rather than dumped or destroyed and left in some closet.

Enjoy the watch!
