I am about to pay for a lot I won last month... but I have some reservations about this company... and I am afraid that the watch is not in a good condition.

Can I run it past you guys before finalising this purchase..?

Thanks in advance!

Auctionata filed for insolvency last month.

Yes I know but that doesn't void my contract with them?

It's still a legal obligation to buy the watch because I won it?

They have been chasing up payment but part of the reason I don't want to pay is because they are insolvent and not sure if I will my purchase.

Finally. These guys are crooks.
I feel sorry for all the people that got swindled.

 

Lovely looking watch.

I'm not sure if the dial is original, however, as the tracks in the sub-dials are not well-centered. Better minds can probably answer that, but like @gatorcpa said, it would be-hoove you to get some professional legal advice if you are thinking of backing out of your agreement...

 

Is the dial not original..? I thought it looked original and untouched because of the patina...

 

Wow

 

The link you show says that the watch was sold in April 2015.

 

No it was from the previous auction...
This is the most up to date listing...

Nice HJ case, I have the exact same one but it is a UG. Also auctionata has filed for bankruptcy so I will be careful if there is still an auction held by them. Pictures of the HJ UG and also a zenith Cousin I also happened to have.

 

What does HJ mean?
