Help! Need tips on buying a Daytona 18K/SS
1. Can I trust Ebay sellers with good reviews? How many is acceptable?
2. What are some good indicators of a Fugazi? 3. New or used? This will be my first Rolex and I want it to be a good one. I recently had a negative experience purchasing an Omega online and kinda got burnt. Allectus |

I think that you should heed your previous experience.

I wouldn't buy on ebay, but I would definitely buy from a trusted seller on this forum.

Only person I would trust on ebay is Matthew Bain (wirelug).

Trusted sellers here have much better deals and guaranteed to be authentic.

Ok, ok. I was really close to buying one on Ebay. I will crowdsource this project.
Any suggestions on a Daytona 116523? Allectus |

Being new to this forum, I am unaware of the procedure or protocol for contacting other users directly. I have read mention of a "Trusted Sellers" list.
Thanks, everyone for the advice. Allectus |

2) Do buy from a trusted seller off TRF! 3) Why TT? Personally I'd go SS or Full Gold! 4) if you are going TT, the best 2 dials are the Arabic Panda or the Arabic Blue Dial! Good luck.

Got this one two weeks ago from Takuya. I think he has another or can get you one. Not sure about shipping to Germany.

As you cannot use US trusted sellers I would go to Iconic Watches in UK who you can trust, look on Trustpilot for reviews. Also look on chrono24 and Ebay for a local dealer that you can visit and see the watch before you buy. The weight is the best clue, TT weighs more than a fake gold-plated, so feel the weights before in an AD.
