How do you check for fakes or franken parts? I noticed you spend a lot of time in places like Hong Kong and visit vintage dealers that are stocked to the roof with with Rolexes and other brands that go for 4-5K a piece. Those watches are decades old. How do you know they are always honest and that you're getting the real deal?

Honestly asking the right questions. It's so difficult to do a through due diligence nowadays

[@2great2die]

It does matter simple as that

[@cameronbarr3627]

It depends on the watch and the collector's preference. In modern, yes, but in vintage, not so much!

Second hand market, you buy the seller not the item.

Super important to buy a watch with box and papers especially if you are paying cash, i know a case where the seller kept the box and papers later claimed the watch was stolen from him.

Simple solution... don't buy a watch in cash and make a note of the transaction... simple as that
