commented on Do you trust eBay authenticity guarantee (EAG)? ·

Bought and sold many through the eBay authentication process.

The watch goes to an independent company to be authenticated and the money doesn't get processed untill this is done.

It's not just authentication but also that the seller is truthful in the advert.

I have even had a phone call from them saying the watch is scratched more than what the original images showed and they sent high quality images for me to see and agree or decline the watch

I think it's a fantastic free service

commented on BB58 vs Zulu39 ·

I Would personally take the longines over the bb58.

Depends what you mean by 5000?

£5000? $5000? 5000yen? 5000baht? 5000 monkeys?

commented on I kind of hate my Rolex ·

The Air King looks great in you,

I wish they would drop the 3, 6, 9 from the dial though, but that my subjective view

But rolex as a brand has always rubbed me up the wrong way due to their marketing. And history of overstretched truths,

I inherited my grandads rolex but i dont wear it, i keep it as a cherished keep sake but it's not something I would wear.

But 100% wear it with pride!
