Congrats on the watch! So cool what EBay is doing!
Excellent explanation of the process!
That Waltham is absolutely gorgeous bro! Congrats on a fantastic purchase! I love what Ebay is doing nowadays. I just recently purchased a Nomos from Ebay(video to come), and it didn't come with everything you received. I'm guessing this was really recent that they started doing this. Great video Chris!
hi thank you for sharing this video it is very helpful I own one of these pieces I was windering if is a good invesment peice and will price increase on them in few y
year time and what do they
go for now
Finally. I mean i dont buy watches this expensive but i might in the future now.
Thank u
If they take the back off to check the movement’s are they going to guarantee the water resistance after?? Don’t think I would want a possibly newish dive watch having its back off
Hopefully they test it again to meet the water resistance requirement...
th-cam.com/video/EOc-f41rSAY/w-d-xo.html this explains what they do, a little vague when they get to case/movement. but they state that the movement IS inspected. I'm assuming based on the fact that eBay has their own facility and apparently vets their watch technicians, these guys probably know how to properly put back on a sapphire crystal and bezel to maintain a water tight seal.
@Shaolin Style You can inquire with eBay and they will let you know.
Sure they do
Very good idea
Omega seamasters that retails for 5200 is now 4200 on EBAY, I have always wanted to get this watch and I am tempted to buy it now after watching your video and a few others here on TH-cam. Thank you.
Hi tom congrats for your watch
Did it come real watch or fake
Thanks.
I was thinking about purchasing a new ball watch on eBay,I don’t think u can fake a ball watch with micro gas tubes, what are your thoughts?
Do you have to ship to the authenticator or can you ship directly to the buyer
Looks like the 👎troll beat me to the party. 😂 Very informative video. I’m going to start selling on eBay soon so very helpful. I’d be hesitant to buy from someone who already had it authenticated since the watch can be manipulated. Would rather get it directly from the source.
Lol yea always 1 thumbs down... Ebay is great if you need any help let me know
Another thing if EBay accept your return for whatever circumstances then you will only get about a percent returned and I believe I read 50% but you can read the policy and check it yourself to make sure. After all the Authenticity Guarantee paid by EBay is NOT free…
I don’t think you can return that watch if has been thru the Authenticity Guarantee because it becomes FINAL SALE. Read the policy.
Items that goes to Authenticity Guarantee and seller does not accept returns or if out the window of the sellers policy return then you are out of luck…
It's an interesting concept - would they do this for all watches or only ones over a certain price point ?
I think over a certain price, because it costs a good amount in shipping alone nevermind the cost of authentication....
Very nice watch. If I’m right in that time Waltham was owned by Invicta. I could also be wrong, and that this was only towards the 1970s. Anyway very cool watch!
Hey this is from the early 60s however I don't believe Invicta ever owned Waltham.
@@WatchChris you don’t believe? But they have.... also some other companies like: Seeland. But you can even vind Waltham watches produced for Invicta. “Waltham for Invicta” they are called if I’m right. They printed that on the dial. But do with this info what you want. Maybe I’m wrong with the info, there is not a lot on the internet about this stuff, but it’s possible at least to find pictures of the watches.
@@WatchChris btw the info about Waltham and Invicta is from the book: chronograph for collectors. They don’t give an whole explanation, but writing that Invicta bought Waltham in the 60’s.
If you re-sell it. How would someone know you did not alter it ? Seems like you would need to get it "re-certified" any time you list it. Otherwise the authenticity can not be guaranteed.
Right. The authenticity Guarantee is no longer granted and becomes invalid. Authenticity Guarantee is only for the buyer to know but if you resale this item then EBay Authenticity guarantee is invalid. Read the policy all complete and you will find out is NOT a good thing.
so the seller will have a time frame to ship it to the authenticator correct? there's no way the seller can bypass this correct? I am still worry someone can imitate this and sell unreal stuff.
Cool process. I wonder if (and how much) the seller has to pay for this authenticity check.
It says the service is provided free of charge.
@@robertmiller8935 to the buyer, to the seller i believe it costs them 20% of product selling price.
Do they always inspect the movement?
I was told they check all of them to make sure they are authentic
@@WatchChris nice ok thanks!
How long does it take from the moment it leaves seller to authenticator to buyer ?
From England 🇬🇧 5 Days UPS to my Door,,
Don't think I would use the eBay authenticity guarantee purchase, knowing that you could swap parts on the watch without removing the tamper proof seal, then return it . that's not what I call tamper proof.
Do they ship it out with usps after the authentication process?
Fedex
Fedex, insured and signature needed.
From England 🇬🇧 UPS,,
My card didn't have the pic
How do you know they actually have someone qualified to authenticate or it could be someone whos trained for a few weeks before they start workin for ebay?
it's a 3rdd party authenticator who specializes in watches
@@WatchChris yeah but who?? And what are their credentials???
Who are the "eBay experts?" I would love to see a video of their process.
They partnered with Stoll x Co in Ohio
I picked up a watch that went through this process. It took about 15mins from receipt to authenticated. I received my watch with all boxes and papers.
I bought it from WatchBox, which is very reputable to begin with. I had several exchanges before i agreed to purchase. WatchBox rep provided many high rez images upon request..
I've purchased other watches through Chrono24 and I think I prefer the ebay process over the escrow process of Chrono24.
so is it authentic?
How about you try "selling a watch" to yourself or wifey or any of your close acquaintances and get authenticated thru Ebay process. That way, we can scrutinise the whole process more close
Its against TOS to sell to yourself
Buyer beware. If you want to return the watch the authenticator can say it wad damaged. This is happening to me right now. I never open the watch box to even look at the watch before returning it. They are claiming the watch was scratched and now I am stuck with it! It is safer to go to a AD or even Jomashop. I wouldn't trust the ebay authentication process ever again.
Aw man, isn’t half the fun of eBay being the potential to get hosed?! Naw kiddin man, this seems like a safer avenue. If I ever get over my $700 budget for a new watch I’ll give it a try.....future economic climate pending.
Rad watch though!
Do you really think they'll do it for free? Nah. Is it "bulletproof" procedure? Nah. Can you bypass it in a(ny) step? Yeah. Is it pure [blue] bollocks (love brits for this word...lol)? Yeah. Will it take more time and effort and maybe complicate things? Yeah.
Funny enough we try e-shopping but still want papers for everything. And that's the only good thing here, you get a piece of paper that may save the day.
PS I love my pencils anyway, write on most surfaces, paper for sure... LOL
The eBay authenticity guarantee is total bullshit
