Yes, I'm still watch hunting.

What's the scoop with Yobokies? He doesn't seem to have a website, but there are some nice looking (to me) watches on his photobucket account.

How do you order from him? Can you order from him? Anyone here dealt with him? Good, bad or indifferent?

I bought a modified seiko in March,he has a great reputation,his communication is excellent.He advertises on mwr forum,his contact is on there,it is something simple like yobokie@yahoo.I paid via paypal,he wraps the watch discreetly.In fact i am now going to look at his watches again thanks to you reminding me.

So you review his wares via photobucket then email him on the above address and that is it!!!

As i said he sells on mwr forum,sometimes i just go on previous reputations,he has great reviews on various watch forums.The watch i bought was roughly £100,if it all went wrong i would have lost out but as it was he emailed me frequently throughout transaction.
Took ten days from ordering to me wearing the watch,which is my daily beater and for the moment seems to have cured my watch obsession.He is based in Hong Kong,
