eBay Watch Authenticity Guarantee Test: Buyer Beware or Buyer's Dream?" ⌚

Great video. Thanks

[@mjdarcy2002]

Thanks for the video. Something remains unclear to me: do the authenticators open the case to see if the internal mechanisms are authentic? And what specifically do they check? It is weirdly hard to determine this information. It's kind of a red flag for me. My fear is that the authentication process is (or functions as) a cover for people trying to pass off franken-watches. When I ask online dealers if their watches have been authenticated they quickly respond, "ebay does that," but then it is hard to figure out what ebay (or Stoll & co) actually checks.

If the watch case is opened, would this invalid any warranty?

[@TheWatchVillage]

@@teenoso4069 this can void the returns policy in the majority of circumstances, yes. If ever you want to get the caseback removed, contact eBay first to explain the situation and get advice from them on how it affects the policy.
