Hello

I have just bought a Chanel H1626 on e bay. The watch comes with original receipt from AD.

I aim to collect in person and pay cash. In order to make sure that I don't get ripped off I would like to check that the initial purchaser matches as well as the serial number on the watch. Does anyone know where this is on the watch- is it on the case where strap joins?

Anything else I should look out for when verifying?

Thanks

Isnt ebay an auction?

So when the "hammer" drops its yours, real or not. Maybe you should have checked before the end of auction.

Not if it is being sold as a genuine item and it isn't.

Mis description

So in that respect, no.

Do Chanel have a serial number verification service online?

I would ask the seller for the S/N and do your homework before you go to collect/pay in person. Once you get there you simply need to check that the S/N looks bona fide and hasn't been tampered with, but the chances of someone either guessing a correct S/N or going to the effort of cloning something like the Chanel is fairly slim I'd say.

I have one of these but could only look when I get home tonight as I only wear it on Sundays. Let me know.

Great watch, imo of course! I've had mine about 2 years just before the price started to rocket.
