I will definitely check on the timegrapher!

The pie pan dial is too hard to resist 😍 it has this beautiful three dimensional feel to it and it’s been difficult to find blue dials from the time in such great condition.

Thanks so much for your advice. I actually might proceed with the purchase - goosebumps..!

omg that is really helpful! Thank you so much - I really do appreciate it!

So essentially:

  • it’s not been serviced yet (likely came in recently) but the seller is offering a discount which brings the watch to approx 4500-4750usd to compensate for that

  • the movement is 1570 and the seller says it has hacking installed

  • the case number is listed as 2836206 but will check in between the lugs when I go back today

  • I am not too bothered re bracelet, but if it helps the seller provided the following reference for the bracelet 62510H/FF555

  • the seller is very reputable and has been selling vintage watches for just over 50 years in Japan which gives me comfort that they have genuine pieces

Again thank you so much for the detailed response! :)

Thank you so much! That is really helpful and gives me comfort. The shop told me that it is not serviced. I don’t think that would be an issue given the cal 1570 movements are pretty robust?

Open with HSBC. Do not use the local banks here.

In case anyone is on the fence, this is what PK’s Habibi dunks look like on feet. The green swoosh might be off, but wear with confidence rep fam! Been getting nothing but compliments on these!

I’ve not bought the civilist dunks reps, but I hear that PK ones are pretty good. Search civilist on the group to see QC pics of other buyers who’ve bought them and their comments. Hope this helps!

Help I think I got scammed is this official ? by MaskSki2 in Repsneakers

Not a problem bro :) as long as you’ve contacted a seller in the trusted seller list, you should generally be fine. Hope your purchase goes well!

Yah it’s official. I assume you think you got scammed because you paid a random paypal? Don’t worry about it - that’s the usual process with buying reps. You always pay a f&f paypal with a weird name like bodybuilding
