Hey Guys, I live in Manhattan and Oscar is currently visiting Manhattan. I am thinking of possibly selling my GMTII C to Oscar in anticipation of purchasing another Rolex and that is a diffucult enough decision to contend with. I have read of Oscar's pristine reputation as a buyer and seller but I need one final group of confirmations from the Forum. The potential plan calls for me to meet Oscar tomorrow and give him the watch and receive a company check from him for the purchase price. I am assuming that this is perceived as a appropriate method of transaction, since my meeting him in person negates the need for him to wire funds. I am also assuming that it is appropriate and recommended by members of this Forum that receiving Oscar's check is completely above reproach. Obbviously an out of state check will take a few days to clear. Again, no negative aspirsions cast on Oscar, I just have never done business with him.

Because I have never met Oscar before, can any Forum members describe what he looks like, even slightly? I know this sounds overly cautious, but I am a NYC stockbroker for many years and always try to have as many variables eliminated in a world full of variables.

Thanks for the Forum's help.

Ken

I recently did a large transaction with him, and had absolutely no problems. You can PM me for my number if you need a good word for Oscar. He was very easy to communicate with, and paid me through a bank wire. No sweat at all!

By the way, he's a cool guy to top! Fun to talk to!

If there's 1 person I trust on here... it would be Oscar. He's a standup guy.

He's posted his picture in the picture thread:

I've talked with him on the phone and almost bought a Sea Dweller from him. I would have bought from him no problem had I not decided to buy a different watch. I believe you can trust him.

OK guys, you have eliminated any slight doubt I may have had. Now I just have to decide if I want to sell the watch.

Thanks,
Ken

I have never wired money with Oscar. Whenever there was a cash differential, he sent me a check or I sent him a check. Never a problem. Deal with confidence.

Oscar is money. His word is gold. Knew him for only 24 hours, talked on the phone about a Rolex, made a deal, wired him a pile of money and bam!, my watch was here by 10:00 am the next morning. Simple and smooth as that.

When he has time while in DC in the next couple of days we plan to meet up for some Korean BBQ.

Tell Oscar to check his PMs. I mailed him 2 days ago. I hope it went through.

Why is this in the General Discussion category? There is a Who' Who category for this type of discussion. 70 posts you should know better.

A cursory review of Oscar's feedback shows that he is a stand-up guy.

Oscar is a trusted seller in my book. Great service and top notched all the way. Conducted two clean transactions with him and many more to come.

Well, since David is backing his check, I'll back David's.. Plus throw in a bezel protector


And if you want to know what he looks like - here it is:


















Seriously though - Oscar is a terrific guy, one I'd trust with keys to my house (but with my wife - not so much ) - you should have zero concern dealing with him. I will be in Manhattan in a few days as well, maybe Oscar and I will meet up for a drink (or fifteen)

As SW, Tony G and other legends here have stated Oscar is a stand up good guy. I purchased a piece from him and got the pleasure to meet him while visiting Miami to close the deal! The kabayan is a man of his word, knowledgeable, and is all around trustworthy. In other word... DEAL WITH CONFIDENCE!

Oscar is excellent to deal with. But don't give him your number, he'll text you 100 times a night! Lol, JK buddy. A very upstanding guy. No worries with him at all.
