[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Vic, I've wanted an IWC black-dial chronograph for years and -- because I didn't want to pay for a real one -- I bought a Replica from a dealer about six months ago who turned out to be in China and dishonest...He sent me an IWC that wasn't like the picture of the one he advertised and after I returned it, he stopped all correspondence and kept my money...The man was named Bin He of Cool Bargains and who knows how many other names and sites he uses...PayPal refused to help and still allows him to use their payment service, so beware of Replica dealers...Some may be ok but you can't be sure... There's a dealer in Ft. Lee, N.J. . near where I used to live, who has brand-new IWC's for 40% off...I believe if he sells them at 40% off, there must be others with the real thing who will negotiate... A real one, in a steel case, costs approximately $3,500 but at 40 % off, you might be able to find one at $2,100. [Those are the approximate figures for a man's watch; a ladies watch might be a little less.] Above all, in my opinion, you should buy in a dealer's store and hold the watch in your hands, not buy on the Internet...regards, bob cole In a message dated 5/27/2007 9:15:55 A.M.
