Watchmarksale

I have posted a WTB here on trf and been contacted by champion888 that suggested to go take a look at WATCHMARKSALE.
After few strange emails from Mark at Watchmarksale I asked for the website and a phone number. I found the website very suspicious.
In fact Address of the physical business is unknown on google maps, it claims to be in Wyoming Il USA but on the website description says conveniently close to London UK.
Pics of the watch (bamford heritage daytona) are the same of one sold here on trf. Registar of the website is located in Panama and website was published on dec 2016....

I wouldn't even consider it personally... Way to many options for finding the one you're looking for without lying awake at night, wondering if you're gonna get yanged!

Just the fact that they are the same photos of a watch being sold here is a huge red flag. Did you check with the seller here on TRF to see if that website is his? Is the price even the same or the contact info? If it is not you'd be doing him a service to let him know someone else is using his pictures to sell a watch. Unless of course he is using their photos. Either way, this is not the worth the risk.

I'd run away. And don't look back.

Odd also that champion888 has been a member since May 2016 and has 0 posts. This smells funny.
