OK, T40ORA.With a budget of 2k, I'd recommend that you go browse chrono24. Buy from Europe as the pound is excellent against the Euro & you won't get clobbered for 20% import duty.
But, caveat emptor. "Trusted Seller" simply means the seller has paid his Chrono24 bills. It does not mean that you should trust him!

Go take a look. If there's something you want an opinion on, post here or ask by pm. You should be able to work out who on this thread will give you a useful opinion!
Very true. There are some serious savings to be made with the EUR right now.

However, I also emphasize caveat emptor on chrono24...
I am currently going through a returns process on there right now for a quite expensive piece.
It seems some peoples definition of 1(mint) includes a chipped sapphire crystal, a bent hand, an allegedly freshly serviced piece that stopped twice within the first twlve hours of receipt, and lots & lots of scratches - none of which were detailed in the description or visible in the photos which I studied extensively. And this is a pro seller who has been on there several years!

sorry to hear you have had a bad experience on chromo24 but I have to say I have purchased 5 watches from that site including 3 Vacherons and a Patek and they have all been perfect
