If they take the back off to check the movement’s are they going to guarantee the water resistance after?? Don’t think I would want a possibly newish dive watch having its back off
@junwoojang29413 жыл бұрын
Hopefully they test it again to meet the water resistance requirement...

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e7WTYMlllti3cY0.html this explains what they do, a little vague when they get to case/movement. but they state that the movement IS inspected. I'm assuming based on the fact that eBay has their own facility and apparently vets their watch technicians, these guys probably know how to properly put back on a sapphire crystal and bezel to maintain a water tight seal.

That Waltham is absolutely gorgeous bro! Congrats on a fantastic purchase! I love what Ebay is doing nowadays. I just recently purchased a Nomos from Ebay(video to come), and it didn't come with everything you received. I'm guessing this was really recent that they started doing this. Great video Chris!

Another thing if EBay accept your return for whatever circumstances then you will only get about a percent returned and I believe I read 50% but you can read the policy and check it yourself to make sure. After all the Authenticity Guarantee paid by EBay is NOT free…

Looks like the 👎troll beat me to the party. 😂 Very informative video. I’m going to start selling on eBay soon so very helpful. I’d be hesitant to buy from someone who already had it authenticated since the watch can be manipulated. Would rather get it directly from the source.

I don’t think you can return that watch if has been thru the Authenticity Guarantee because it becomes FINAL SALE. Read the policy. Items that goes to Authenticity Guarantee and seller does not accept returns or if out the window of the sellers policy return then you are out of luck…

@@WatchChris you don’t believe? But they have.... also some other companies like: Seeland. But you can even vind Waltham watches produced for Invicta. “Waltham for Invicta” they are called if I’m right. They printed that on the dial. But do with this info what you want. Maybe I’m wrong with the info, there is not a lot on the internet about this stuff, but it’s possible at least to find pictures of the watches.

If you re-sell it. How would someone know you did not alter it ? Seems like you would need to get it "re-certified" any time you list it. Otherwise the authenticity can not be guaranteed.
@deannacharette7123 Жыл бұрын
Right. The authenticity Guarantee is no longer granted and becomes invalid. Authenticity Guarantee is only for the buyer to know but if you resale this item then EBay Authenticity guarantee is invalid. Read the policy all complete and you will find out is NOT a good thing.

so the seller will have a time frame to ship it to the authenticator correct? there's no way the seller can bypass this correct? I am still worry someone can imitate this and sell unreal stuff.

I picked up a watch that went through this process. It took about 15mins from receipt to authenticated. I received my watch with all boxes and papers. I bought it from WatchBox, which is very reputable to begin with. I had several exchanges before i agreed to purchase. WatchBox rep provided many high rez images upon request.. I've purchased other watches through Chrono24 and I think I prefer the ebay process over the escrow process of Chrono24.

Buyer beware. If you want to return the watch the authenticator can say it wad damaged. This is happening to me right now. I never open the watch box to even look at the watch before returning it. They are claiming the watch was scratched and now I am stuck with it! It is safer to go to a AD or even Jomashop. I wouldn't trust the ebay authentication process ever again.

Will it take more time and effort and maybe complicate things? Yeah. Funny enough we try e-shopping but still want papers for everything. And that's the only good thing here, you get a piece of paper that may save the day. PS I love my pencils anyway, write on most surfaces, paper for sure... LOL
