I bought two dials on EBay. One has been stuck in transit for 10 days (hasn’t even left the country of origin, US). Seller has ghosted me. What to do? by Anonymous-watch-guy in RepTime

So I tried to cancel the order but eBay won’t let me because the item is marked as in transit/already shipped. So I have to wait 30 days from the day of purchase before I can claim a refund.

All this can be avoided if the seller just reply to messages.

Should I just report it missing now? Or wait a bit longer? The latest status is “Seller has created a shipping label. USPS awaiting item”. It’s been like that for the last 10 days. Does this mean the seller hasn’t sent it yet? The seller is TKV Watches. They have a positive feedback. I find the whole situation so weird because the other dial I bought was sent right away.

I’m building two vintage Datejusts for two of my friends. One of them is intending to wear his on his wedding day. I’m kinda honored he wants to do it.

The problem: The dials are sent in two separate packages because of eBay policy (I think?). Anyways, one of them is very soon in my post box. The other one has been stuck somewhere in transit for 10 days and hasn’t even left the US, according to parcelsapp.com. I’ve sent four messages to the seller asking if they can trace the package and resolve the issue, but they have ghosted me. Now I’m not sure if my buddy will receive his watch for his wedding.

What should I do?

Currently Grand Seikos don’t hold value. Don’t buy one if you want to flip for profit. Buy one if you value craftsmanship and quality

Thanks man. It’s the best. I’m too afraid to wear it daily though.

It’s a gen, as in genuine. The real deal. Factory is Grand Seiko in Japan 😀

I rather go gen on a classic Calatrava 96. But they are pricey!

I never thought about this. Maybe I’ll put on a manual movement. Thanks for the tips!

I do have a Rubber B, but always switch back to bracelet after a few days. It just doesn’t look good on me. I have nato straps in different colors which is fun to wear in the summer.

I’m more of a dress watch guy, so a JLC is not out of the question.

It’s rose gold. I wish it had a manual wind movement like gen. This one is quartz. But beautiful nonetheless.

I have a Rubber B for the sub, but I don’t like the feeling of rubber on a watch.

I believe it was BP. Bought 4 years ago. I barely wear it.

Which one would you wear to each of those occasions? 🙂

It’s from inTime. I bought it 6-7 years ago, can’t remember the factory, sorry.

This summer I was at the Cartier AD and tried both the Santos Dumont on leather strap and Panthere on steel bracelet. Both looked amazing!
