Hi all, I just won a best offer from shabwatch, after almost the full 48 hours, and despite a number of messages/emails, no response from him at all - just the invoice. I'm starting to get cold feet. It is a gorgeous watch, but I just want to see if anybody has had any dealings with him http://myworld.ebay.com/shabwatch thanks daniel
Is this the one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-OME...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network If so, thats a real beauty!! I wouldn't have a problem trusting him with all that feedback but as we have recently seen you have to be weary on ebay!
The farsi, the black dial, the fact that when I was going through John Goldberger's book is was one of the ones that really stuck out: http://omegaforums.net/threads/vintage-cosmic-black-dial-true-arabic-numbers.3459/#post-39649 oh, and this one is 80 microns PG plated, while Goldberger's is YG.
Earlier this week I bought a watch from him. I payed through paypal with credit card. His communication is poor and he didnt contact me after the purchase. He replied to my emails about when we was going to ship the watch and in fact the watch is on its way via Fedex at this moment, to arrive here tomorrow..........hopefully He does speak english but he could definitely improve his communication when people are paying large sums of money. He needed my phone number in order to ship the watch so I'm not sure when he would have contacted me to get the phone number if I hadnt contacted him first. Obviously I havent received the watch yet but his feedback would indicate that he does deliver.
Thanks all. well I have paid, so lets see what happens.... BTW, I've just popped something up on the sales thread to fund this purchase if anybody is interested!
Oh, the other factor was keeping on missing out on cool gold shit! There have been too many I've missed out on, and ash is giving me crap about it!
