    There are no questions at all in your post, just misused question marks. The first three sentences are declarative statements, and all are correct.

    You just need to stop restating prior posts as "questions".

    Tough crowd to please! :p

    How about these ones? Condition seems good, some suspicion of polished cases. Dials seem fine. Highish BIN prices, but you can always make an offer.

    Both look nice...from a distance! This is like asking about holes in your roof while looking at a picture of your city taken from a satellite.

    A couple of steps closer to the camera would be helpful.

    Prices seem high, but not outrageous. If the watches are in perfect condition, then they are quite reasonable.

    But there's no way to know.

    Hard to imagine that can happen...

    I've sent an inquiry regarding payment method; prefer CC for the protection it affords; otherwise, I guess there's even more risk...

    I sent them an inquiry as to alternate methods of payment (CC or PP) from the 'wire' they appear to prefer, but no answer :(.
    I really would like to make an offer on the UltraChron, but I'm reticent to do so, if it will mean a wire payment...

    so perhaps a low-ball offer will be made anyway!

    Do what you would do to copy the link and instead of copy there should be go to + ( link) just underneath
    Hit that and the site comes up with pictures and all :thumbsup:

    I've noticed this on occasion with eBay Germany when sellers don't want to ship outside the EU.

    Keeps us pesky Amerikaners away.

    Funny, I got a response from the seller as to other methods of payment. Not that I won anything yet, but with perfect English he said that he hasn't spoken English in over 8 years; he has to use a 'dictionary'!

    The good thing is, he said he can use PayPal by 'e-mail'. I did some low-ball bidding last night, but I think now I'll go to my max bid knowing this info....

    Thank goodness for 'Google Translate', otherwise I would have just passed on trying to bid on this one (Ultra-Chron)..

    My bid is in place...wish me luck!:thumbsup:

    Thanks! I was starting to doubt whether it truly was a good price, but I haven't seen many with a caseback like that one...

    Thank you for pointing her out :D

    Now I just have to figure out how to pay...:cautious:
