His prerogative, and he felt strongly about it because he’d been scammed before apparently, but no way I felt comfortable floating that much cash to a complete stranger. Really hurt to let that one go, too.
I tried to work with that same seller I suspect. I have several dozen transactions as buyer and seller there so I would hope I come off as trustworthy but no luck. Here I am still hoping that some of these come up for those of us on the waitlist. I'm kicking myself as at the point that I decided to buy it it was still available then when I went to complete the transaction the next morning it was sold out.

Maybe he’ll come around. His most recent listing was the second time he put it up for sale and hasn’t marked it sold yet.

That’s the one I had bid on previously. I lost the auction and he offered it to me after the winning bidder pulled out. I looked at all the conversion rates plus sales tax plus customs duties and it was well over a reasonable amount.

He seemed like a nice guy and I’d wager that’s a good gamble for someone in the UK.

after much delay (and a free strap for my troubles), it finally arrived today! wow it is quite the looker. the bracelet was too tight, so despite having paid to have it pre-sized, i had to add in 1 link but it wasn't too bad. gonna wear this for a few days, but loving it after the first day

I ended up buying this. Big headache getting it imported to the US using eBay’s global shipping program and DHL. I now totally understand why nobody wants to ship watches internationally. It seems to have finally cleared customs after a week, but still no delivery date scheduled.

Got mine and couldn't be more pleased with it. The more I look the more I love it. The 39mm watch size really suits my 7" wrist.

I've been on the wait list to get one of these and I just heard from customer service this morning that one has come available and I'm next on the wait list. Confirmed and ordered it immediately! Can't wait to get it. Now to explain how/why I picked up two new watches in a month as the C60 #tide that I bought nearly new on sale just came in yesterday...

Really beautiful piece with the see-through design thats fairly translucent on the darker side.

There are so many beautiful designs that I’m having a hard time on deciding which one to get

I'm yet to be convinced by mine. I absolutely love the depth of the sapphire dial. Perhaps it's the black bezel I haven't gelled with yet.....
