alwinlee 0 Posted August 14, 2011 Hi guys! I'm currently looking to purchase an IWC aquatimer, mainy the galapagos edition or the costeau diver. I've came across 3 thus far, probably need you guys to help me out! Are they gens?? Should be eh..... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT Thanks in advance! I'm leaning towards the costeau diver! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted August 14, 2011 No way to tell on the Cousteau as that's a generic image of the gen - it's NOT a photo of the actual watch being sold. Avoid like the plague. to be honest, I wouldn't even consider buying a gen via eBay. Too many scams around. If you do, then make sure you check out the seller first - i.e. that they're a legitimate watch dealer with LOTS of positive feedback. Personally I'd recommend checking out some of the gen forums...

alwinlee 0 Posted August 15, 2011 Thank you for saving the day once again greg. I guess the only reason I get it from eBay is because I'm not very experienced in this field and I'm hoping the 'feedback system' would actually shed some light and provide me with a stronger sense of security. Furthermore, I'm not aware of any gen forums out there which does international shipping Care to name a few? Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted August 15, 2011 Well, on the gen forums, it depends on where the seller is and whether they're prepared to ship internationally. Watchuseek is probably a good place to start (http://forums.watchuseek.com). There are also plenty of dealers who specialise in used watches. Here in the UK there's: http://www.watches.co.uk/ http://www.miltonaires.com/others_soldExcluded.asp http://www.blowers-jewellers.co.uk/ ... and others.... it's worth finding out who is selling what in your part of the world.
