路@Om-ega , why don't you start from zero? Introduce yourself, your background, why you are interested in watches - perhaps show some of your own - get to know people around here? If you continue down the path this thread has laid out for you, there is no positive outcome for you.
I promise you that everyone here is helpful (well... Most are) and would love to meet another enthusiast 馃榾

路路惟F InvestiGatorThis guy reminds my of someone I met when learning to ski. He spent $2K on skis and boots and another $1K on a Bodner outfit and headed straight over to the black diamond runs because, "I am a good athlete".
I didn't know whether to feel bad for the damage he was going to do to himself, or worry more about the other skiers he would take out on the way.
This is a train wreck waiting to happen.

路@250scr , I have been a member since May 2014. Had the chance to purchase Speedy Automatic(now sold) from this forum. Do own a few others like Citizen Promaster BY0080-57E(JDM),Longines La Grande Classique, Tissot LeLecole, Tag Heuer Formula 1,Davosa Teranos etc. I am on the verge of purchasing a Speedy Pro(1861,year 2010) for $2300 in couple of days .
Encountered a bad experience while purchasing a Speedy Pro from this forum but was able to bail out upon help from another forum member (the seller was someone called Steffen Altmann) ...unfortunately the same person had scammed @legendary_seven in Sept.2014. I had shared the driving license and address details of the seller to help track down as he had surfaced in TZ thereafter.
Very surprised by the intolerance shown by some members as my earlier interactions with various other members has been very friendly and helpful. However I understand that online can create wrong impressions and be unforgiving.Thanks for the time.

路If you have been around since May 2014, you will remember the novice dealer who kept getting himself banned from this forum under various user names.
Maybe you should search for those old threads and heed the advice that should be apparent from his experience.

I think Mel Fisher lost a couple of his relatives in diving accidents before finding the Atocha back in the 1980's.
Even if you find something, then you have to battle the various US states, the Bahamas and/or the original insurers, most of whom are still around 300+ years later. All claim to own this treasure and have lot of lawyers on salary just waiting for someone to find it for them.
That's our point. You can lose a lot of money if you don't know what you are doing.

路There's plenty of lost treasure still to be discovered scattered across the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic and Caribbean between the Outer Banks of North Carolina and the east coast of Mexico.

路路Steve @ 惟FJust kidding.
I'm an experienced dealer who has spent years creating networks and working out the best place to source vintage watches at a good price. Now, I'm going to share my intellectual property with all and sundry.

路路Steve @ 惟FAt the outset let me thank you for the advice and couple of informative suggestions from fellow members. At the same time I am equally surprised by the harshness and bad jokes on very innocuous questions from another watch enthusiast. No one is asking to share your contacts, and so called IP - naivety is not bliss. This is no NASDAQ nor a big boys club but was expecting some large heartedness in sharing information or pointers to a novice. It would have been great to know your views on avoiding counterfeit, standardization and pricing(inflated by some) which a site like http://speedmaster101.com/ addresses. So guy's hold strong to your trade secrets while I will find my way.

路Oh, Geezus Khrist - another fool who thinks he can just buy a watch and make money on it. Wait, it's even worse..... this particular fool keeps at it.
@Om-ega - If you're here asking questions about the business, you don't know enough about the business to be in it.
.... unless, of course, you're looking for a tax write off with all the money you'll lose by being clueless. Now do us all a favor and rent a boat, hire a crew, and go hunting for treasure on lost Spanish galleons.
