Today, what was supposed to be an unboxing of a very special and iconic Swiss automatic dive watch (and in my opinion, one of the best dive watches ever made) turned into a total disaster. After a decade of successfully buying watches online, I thought I was onto a good deal via eBay, but I was wrong. I made some fundamentally rookie mistakes. So, in an effort to save others from making the same mistakes I made, I share 10 essential things to look out for when buying a watch, no matter if it is ultra affordable, or super high end luxury. From under $100 to $10,000+, this watch buying guide applies to watches at any price point, in all watch genres, and from any brand. In this video I also share 10 questions to ask the seller when buying a watch online, especially on eBay, to ensure you know exactly what you're buying before clicking that "Buy It Now" button. Have you ever been scammed when buying a watch? Please share in the comments!
