What's Your Take?

Click here to visit an Ebay store for Chris and let me know what you think
http://stores.ebay.com/Chriss-Timepieces

The prices, condition of watches, and feedback look great. Anyone had any deadlings with Chris? Any comments?

Thanks.....Mark

Sorry friend for me no rating on a web site is good enough. AD for me only. NO matter the saving. I work to hard to be fleeced by some scammer.

Good feedback on watchnet, seems reasonably safe.

I agree with f16750...AD only. Why risk it? I saw a thread on a Breitling site where a Breitling from Ebay was authenticated by a "B" AD, he opened it up and everything. Turns out it was a d@mn good fake. Guy got hosed and the AD looks pretty bad.

Chris Wiley (extract244) is as rock solid as they come. Nancy and I bought this A serial Sub from him a couple of months ago as a gift for her son (ggbrown here on TRF). It's currently at the Toronto RSC for an overhaul. I'd have no hesitation buying from Chris again.

All of my Rolex watches and most of my others were purchased preloved. Happy with every deal so far. Means a larger collection for me but it takes time, effort, and due diligence. I'd love nothing more than to walk into an AD and say "I'll take that one". But it ain't gonna happed, for me anyway.
Whatever works for you.

I also only buy from an AD, but if Al recommends Chris, you should have no worries buying from him.

A good feedback on FleeBay is not worth the paper it is printed on. Try posting on FleeBay forums about the fakes and see what happens.

Chris is a good guy. I bought an EXP II from him and highly recommend him. He is a real person you can talk to and will do everything to help you.
