Incoming Starbucks
Went grey dealer for a 3/2022 watch. The clasp is has light scratches, but I intend to add my own scratch on this one so it doesn't bother me. This completes my watch collection for the foreseeable future. I'm going to post a SOTC later when I'm able to get all my watches in one place.

In addition to share some photos, just for extra due diligence, I'm posting some photos so experts in this forum can double check its authenticity. And before someone comment about asking stranger for help and how I should buy from AD, I met this dealer through Moda facebook group and more than half a dozen expert level members vouch for this seller. It came with card and both tags. Originally they were not going to ship the box, but I paid extra to have the box as I'm a bit OCD about it.

Maybe if I spend $19k on a necklace doors will start to open. But I am pretty much against diamonds and don't want to buy any unless I have to. If I just wait it'll be the year 2030 before I finish my collection

Congrats on the LV.

The seller was originally going to sell you the watch and paperwork but withhold the original box unless you paid more?

It's not uncommon to save on shipping by leaving the box out among other reasons.

You did exactly right. Wait a 1.5 years (like I did) to save a few bucks? Life is now.

To judge you need macro pics! Maybe the crown on the clasp could have more "sharpness"!

Interesting, thanks.. I’ve never seen a listing stating Watch + papers = $X and watch, papers and box = $X + $Y….if the seller claims to have the original.
