it would seem you have trust issues as far as the watch and the members of this forum who are genuinely here to help you....by naming the brand without any other specifics will work in aiding your quest...I doubt anyone is looking to snag the watch away from you;)....in fact if it was a deal and worthwhile one of us would already have snagged it up my friend:D We all win some and moreso lose some...that needle in the haystack is far and few between even for the most seasoned collectorshand6.gif
This is starting to get too far afield from what my original intent was for the post. While I am interested in the specifics of my current situation, I am much more interested in any general 2nd-hand watch-buying principles that can be applied here; specifically, I'm assuming that a lack of box, lack of papers, lack of servicing information, lack of chain of ownership, and lack of year of make are factors that will devalue a 2nd-hand offering that is less than 8 years old. The question is whether this matters a lot, or doesn't matter all that much. I was just hoping for some insight, as I anticipate being in the market for 2nd-hand watches quite a bit over the next year and I'm sure I'll run into one of more of these factors again in due course. And, obviously, if I'm ever a seller, I'd like to know if having all of these things at my disposal will enhance the attractiveness of my own pieces, or if they aren't all that important.
