buying private 2nd hand- checks?
Discussion
looking at a second hand JLC tomorrow, what if anything can be done to check validity of papers and watch etc, bearing in mind amount of forged watches and boxes/papers you can buy?
same will apply no doubt to me if px'ing my rolex, i have obviously the original papers/box and invoice from blowers with case/serial no on etc.
whats best for both parties to be confident in genuine purchase from a private seller?
(bearing in mind i also own 2 extremely good homage watches i wear for work that can be scratched/knocked etc, without papers and boxes but many of the snide sites sell boxes and certificates! )

I think you would have to be MAD to pull a fast one on a fellow watch enthusiast that uses TZ PH Watchforum and the like, it would soon get around. I think that most on the aforementioned are great guys and you can deal with confidence. I have also noticed how many forum members on TZ have purchased watches back that they sold a few months ago. I have a theory and think we are just custodians the way we buy and sell pieces (well me anyway) You could look at it this way buy a watch Omega Rolex etc keep it in good nick sell it 1 or 2 years down the line you should get back nigh on what you paid hey watch rental
