So your not trying to be a dealer/flipper?
The average price of watches he asked about is roughly $2500. So he's spending almost $1 million/year on watches. Either he is a flipper/reseller, or is spending enough on watches he should absolutely have the money to just pay an expert-on-staff rather than trying to get us to do it for hm.

Yeah there’s bullshit somewhere. Either he’s not buying a watch a day or he is a flipper.

If he is, he could probably cut back to 4 watches/week, and hire a full-time watchmaker to do all his authentication/servicing for him!

Guys I just read these things.. honestly I just had a limited budget, and got ripped off a few times.. sorry I asked a few times for help, thanks anyways.


I've written the following a time or two in the past.....

One can either pay with Time and Effort educating oneself OR pay someone else for all the Time and Effort they have invested to vet a watch for sale.

And, to answer your next question....buy the seller.

I thought these wannabe flipper/dealer jokers went away when the watch market crashed.

There are still people selling 'books' and 'classes' on how to be a watch-flipper, so there are definitely victims of them that keep going around sure that they can make easy-money buying from cheaper countries (the current OP going through Turkey on a couple now is hilarious, basically the fake-watch-capital-of-europe), just to find out the hard way it ain't that easy.
