Omega Speedy Schumacher

[andymc]

Hi guys,
If I could just pick your brains a little, I'm after a pre owned Schumacher and would appreciate where best to look, ebay seems to be the largest market place but I feel as if I'm swimming with sharks, I have a fondness for the one with the yellow face but is this the least desirable due to the colour?

A lot of sellers are in the USA which further concerns me, all help welcome

Thanks

Andy

Chrono24 would be where I'd look for something like that.

I had quick look but how do you verify the seller?

It isn't easy, as the seller ratings on there don't mean much. If you are a member on any forums like TZ UK or Turf, or anywhere else you can search to see if anyone has dealt with a seller before. If nothing turns up on a search like that, then you are into Googling to check what comes up.

I just bought something from a seller in Italy. There were some positive posts on TZ UK, but in addition, I paid an extra 2% to pay by credit card, so if the deal did go tits up, I stood a chance of getting some money back from Mastercard. Fortunately, the deal was problem free. But I did have a few sleepless nights until the courier turned up.

If you want a second hnd watch at a great price, them's the risks! Do your homework, call the seller and talk to them, request more pictures and make sure everything has a paper trail.

You'll be OK

so would you go the ebay route but with a trusted seller?
