Its a little frightening the first time, waiting for the watch to show up after paying, and waiting to check authenticity, but I have done so several times now, and can say I've never faced any issues. Its like buying from someone in a shop, only, you need to put a little more trust into the online transaction. Once you know the seller, you're safe for your next transaction.
The risk is sometimes 'outweighed' or 'offset' you could say by the convenience, and of course, a reference, a reputation. These two last things can make all the difference to making a safe transaction online.

I've always wanted to ask everyone this
Please I'm not trying to be rude here but, I'm sure some of you have bought watches offline at one point or another. I mean I would be scared buying a $200 dollar Seiko for example in fear it may get lost, stolen or even worse broken. If I may kindly ask,...
sorry everyone I meant to say online not offline
I wanted to say buying watches online not offline.
It's all about research Kevin..
Buying online isn't much of a problem if you do your research. As mention here almost all the time, buy the seller. If you look at the seller carefully and go with a reputable one and the delivery is fully insured that should be ok. The only "risk" then i...

Don't be afraid to ask questions and for a number of references. Yes, it is unnerving at times--but spend enough time on fora and you will discover who the reputable sellers are.....
Sounds good.
Now depending on how much, I choose to save up for a watch I can understand where your coming from, Me being only 25 I know I'm not the only one here who, Can't afford a watch that costs thousands of dollars at least I know I'm not alone.
i always prefer face to face, but
i will do on-line if there are SUBSTANTIAL $$ savings. one must compensate for the risks taken, and also bear i mind the business costs of a bick and mortar dealer is much higher the a online dealer. there is also direct buying from owners like the Collec...
Thank you
My old avatar is so 80s and weird Al Yankovic ain't exactly in the popular culture scene anymore. Thus both his signed mega poster has been taken down from the wall and online avatar has been removed. Thanks for noticing!! Best, Horo
Never had a problem
Virtually every watch I have has been ordered by telephone or over the internet and shipped to me from the US, Singapore or Europe. It's a none issue. Just buy the seller not the watch and you won't have a problem.
I am not so much worried about the authenticity of the watch or the shipping
As other members indicated, you are safe as long as you buy from a reputable merchant. Shipping is insured anyway. However, what do you all think of buying a watch with 'no paper', 'no box' (box is less of an issue) and buying from a merchant that is not ...
and what about the issue of the warranty
some grey vendors propose new watches for sale at large discounts, but when you read the fine print they stipulate that they do not provide any warranty on the watches that they sell and that the watch does not come with a manufacteror warranty either. Ho...
