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 😁
Now I just have to figure out how to pay...😒
You're welcome. Pics when it arrives!
Yes, no doubt!
So, the default payment method (and only choice given by eBay) is 'bank transfer'. I know that eBay has 'Buyer Protection' but I'm not sure about how easy it is to enforce when payment is done that way.
Anyone here have experience/suggestions with the 'eBay bank transfer'?
Given that the reseller indicated he can use PayPal by email, I would just request him to send u a PayPal invoice. In that way, u still get the protection afforded thru PayPal.
Here ya go, I know somebody will like this one! Can you say rare????

He is a good guy and I am sure he will take less. Uncommon... for sure.

I may be missing something here, but I think the seller wants you to pay using PayPal gift transfer. This way he doesn't pay the 3% in credit card charges. It is the equivalent of a wire transfer on his end, although he might have to wait an extra day or two for the cash to be in his account. Note that this is really supposed to be used for "family and friends" transfers, not e-commerce.
I think that the eBay protections still apply. If this were me, I would fund the gift transfer with my credit card and eat the 3% fee. For an extra $10, I get "belt and suspenders" protection, knowing that both eBay and my credit card company have my back if the deal goes sideways.
This is why we say to buy the seller not the watch. A seller who wants me to take all the risk and pay all the fees makes me nervous. Remember that credit card fees protect both sides of a transaction. The seller is guaranteed to get the money so long as he acts in good faith and you are guaranteed a refund if he doesn't.

Somebody's gonna be broke yet smiling about that.
Important: Contrary to the title of this thread, I am NOT recommending this watch. I just don't think it deserves its own thread.
What do you guys think of this watch? If it's real, I'd say it's a very odd one, though convincing enough to me.

That is a rare one. The date window is in the correct spot for a 23ZD. Not sure if the dial is original or not but leaning towards a refinish. The crystal with the magnifier is certainly NOT original - the date surround is rectangular and the magnifier is round? 😕 Not something any factory would do that I'm aware of. The crown is a poor replacement also.
