Buying off ebay?

[N0trub]

So i am thinking of a beater rolex i know no such thing…my threshold would be under 10 . I own one that is old and beautiful and is super sentimental thus cant be replaced. My question is after hearing and reading buy the seller dont wire money have watch in hand. How about a reputable seller on ebay one seen here and with many thousands of five star ratings. I like the authenticity guarantee, how the money goes into escrow and u have a three day grace period. I will ask about last service and time keeping. Thinking mid 90s era gmt or sub date. I will anticipate sending it to rolex for service. I just want a quality piece nothing to perfect so if i find myself mowing the lawn or swimming around the boat with it on i wont freak and need to put it away. Few nicks a scratches or a non original bracelet are what i desire. I consider it like buying a used lexus. One i am not afraid to put in a parking garage or valet. Pitfalls experience thoughts? thanks for all the knowledge given out here. Sincerely
