    Not in my experience. The buyer gets absolutely creamed and I've spoken to sellers in the past who have been shocked how much their items are costing the buyer to ship. Terrible program.

    I agree for smaller, lighter items, but heavier and larger, in my experience, has always been better than the seller's direct quote. However, YMMV.

    The dial is really nice on that one. However, someone went overboard with the polishing compound:

    Note the "Waterproof" is barely visible anymore.

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-OME...CASE-amp-DIAL-CAL-564-EXCELLENT-/172745548046Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    I think the crown is a modern replacement, and the markers show a little wear on the paint. However, there is a good picture of the underside of the dial in the listing and it is correctly hallmarked for 18K gold.

    Good luck,

    I wouldn't buy it, the seller is a dodgy character.

    Have you delt with him? His feedback is good. He has been on eBay (it says) since 2007

    Could we please keep inquiries out of this thread? It even explicitly says so in the thread title.

    You assume they take the time to read the title.

    To be absolutely fair, the suggestion was made that the seller was dishonest or unreliable (also not strictly thread relevant) which does rather beg for a follow up question but I agree that this isn't the place for it.

    To be more fair, the poster asked a question which prompted Ash's post which, in turn, prompted the poster's second question.

    I'll clean up the thread tomorrow, at that point I'll also make a new thread with some details and explanation of the post.

    For "Unknown"? with no avatar?

    You are too kind...

    However, on second thought, for that username that's a perfect avatar.
