To All these people who claim brown dials are easy to make - show me one.
I fully accept it is possible but as yet, no one has shared a process I can follow.
The Tropical Watch 2998 has just been reduced in price.
He does that - one of the reasons I like them, quick to acknowledge errors in pricing.
If that seller is legit and the watch delivered to a new owner at only 507,00 euro, this will go down as the bargain of the year, errr... century. My goodness. 🤦
I also contacted the seller and had a discussion last week. I feel pretty sad for them - they had no idea of the value and were talked into selling it locally for that amount. Predatory is what comes to mind, rather than bargain hunting. In my mind, if the seller had placed a BIN at 507 and it sold, I'd have no issues. It's the buyer talking them into ending the auction for that sum that gets me. Bad watch karma...
Agreed it is bad karma, but the seller should have also done some homework and the seller wasn’t forced to sell it at that price…..the seller was persuaded, the seller could have let the auction run its full course, both parties to blame but mainly the buyer as they knew what they were doing.
I felt that way and almost had the urge to rub it in the seller’s nose for not doing the most basic research…But then I realized the seller might be some elderly who had no clue of what to look for and probably knows now he made a huge mistake!
I’d like to know though if the buyer was a collector or a dealer, I would certainly like to avoid having to deal with such an individual!
Is it really cooked? I would not say that… There were another one which really looked at least suspicous (pic below) but this one looks quite amazing for me.
