Walk away.

Almost typed this myself Vincent!

Plenty of good sellers out there so forget him!

You'd think a shot of the bracelet stretch would be included in the listing.

MILD RANT: Irritates me on TZ & elsewhere when sellers don't post pics at all. Invariably, if I ask for shots (which I usually don't on the grounds that if the seller can't bother to post a pic.....) I find out that it's not what I want anyway, due to condition, etc. A couple pics in the listing would have saved everyone some trouble.

I have noticed on here there are adverts for watches for five figures and there is only one picture of the watch in it's box.
I wonder who would start thinking of spending that sort of money on the strength of one picture?

[69mach351]

As a seller of a luxury item, I would want to be as accommodating as reasonably possible. Someone that is not interested will not generally ask for pictures of a bracelet IMO. In today's day and age, it is too easy to send pictures to pretend it is a hassle.

[Sixshooter]

Nowhere near a unreasonable request. I'd say the seller can pound sand.

When I went "tyre kicking" for a new motor I went into a local bmw garage to look at an X6, the only one they had in the showroom was locked, so I went to reception and asked if I could look inside, I was asked to hang on for a minute......she came back and said "that one is sold but the salesman said take this brochure if you like all the details are in there"!! The "salesman" never even got off his lazy arse to come talk, the next time I went, purely tyre kicking, was in a brand new cls350 merc!! I'd suggest you leave that seller alone and post pics of the watch you get on here, just to prove you were serious!! :-)

[tedscott3]

Yep, there are a ton of DD out there. Next!

[thewatchbossny]

very reasonable, one of the first things to take pictures of with DD would be bracelet

[Brenngun]

As has been said. Not an unreasonable request. In fact a very normal and expected one. Pass on a seller that starts with this attitude. Just a problem waiting to happen.

[mjclark32]

Ridiculous response IMO. Takes seconds to take a photo and email it these days...

Ha - same in the US (probably everywhere in the world). There were 3 models on a lot with the engine I wanted and the salesman said that one was sold, one was the owner's, and another lame reason why I couldn't drive the third. Later, I bought one from a different dealer.

Couldn't have said it better! Move on and find a better seller!

Plenty of good sellers ....but ...very few watches
especially if they are selling for a low price.

I would tell him... yes I am a buyer ...subject to inspection
of the bracelet pictures you will send me.

I do not know who it is ...but it might be a good bargain..if it is
you will come out ahead from this deal...so ask again...not a biggy
the final outcome matters.

On all my dealings (thousands of them) if I would have been upset
every time sellers were clueless I would have never bought anything
Most people do not know how to respond gracefully...not that they are rude.

[blackout]

Wow...

[porschejeff]

Must be the same person I requested additional pics on the DD and stretch also,for sale and got no response. Plenty of others out there.

[Racerdj]

Too abrasive for me. Move on

[www777]

agreed. at least describe it and wait for the reply before going there.

[bobert]

Your question was reasonable. His question wasn't. No serious seller should ask if you are a serious buyer.
