nlaw2001 0 Posted February 16, 2014 Just a quick questio for group members. A friend of mine has been offered a brand new(with tags on) IWC Poruguese for £1900 (they retail for £5900). Is this a believable price? He is getting it from a friend who claims he bought a few so was able to get them cheap. Is this deal to good to be true? or is it possible for that price? Thanks By the way i own a pam beginers edition from Toro and i am looking at getting an IWC next Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFleischer 4,355 Posted February 16, 2014 Yes, it seems too good to be true IMO. I would check it out with IWC -make sure it's real and/or stolen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corv99 2 Posted February 16, 2014 'Brand New' sounds a little suspect unless source is confirmed.. I.e. dealer receipt so they can be contacted to confirm etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JSJ 0 Posted February 16, 2014 Surely trade value would be more than that for a new watch? Smells bad to me but if the guy really is a friend he should decide how much he trusts him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevok2305 1 Posted February 16, 2014 Yep, i'd ask for serial nos to check they're legit and not stolen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
higginsd 0 Posted February 16, 2014 I don't think you get bulk discount on IWC Portuguese. So the friend who "claims he bought a few so was able to get them cheap" is lying. This is a rep or stolen, I bet on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Jimmy 29 Posted February 23, 2014 That's below dealers cost. Like others have said, seems to good to be true. You said it has tags, but if brand new should have boxes/papers as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kleen™ 45 Posted February 23, 2014 Does it sound believable to you? No, didn't think so...:-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
