For Your Safety: A Message to All Buyers
- New Seller Notice: If a seller is new to the Collectors Market with less than 200 posts. While everyone starts somewhere, we strongly recommend using a secure payment method like PayPal Goods & Services or a credit card for purchases for buyer protection.
- Critical Security Alert: Established accounts can be compromised. Always request a custom timestamp (a photo of the watch with a note of your choosing) from any seller, regardless of their transaction history. For the highest security, a live video call is the best way to confirm the seller physically has the watch.
If a seller refuses these basic checks or you see any red flags, stop the transaction immediately.
Remember: A real seller with a genuine watch has nothing to hide and will understand your need for caution.
Okay, so I went and did exactly what I promised my wife I would not do - I bought the new watch before selling the old one. So now to get out of the dog-house I am extra motivated to sell.
Here is a near-mint IWC Big Pilot 5002 with the original fish crown and all the goodies. I am the original owner and purchased it from an Authorized Dealer.
I always like to spell out the condition of my pieces in some detail to avoid misunderstandings. I would rate this piece at about 93%. I have worn the piece on maybe 50 occassions. It has a couple tiny dings on the bezel that I can not photograph very well and a tiny scratch on the bezel, too. The back has a couple small scratches that could easily be buffed out. The buckle and deployant are perfect and the strap is excellent with minor wear. I have probably overstated the blemishes (which would lead to a positive surprise for my buyer) but the watch has not been a safe-queen and I am a strong believer in full disclosure.
Enjoy the pictures and feel free to e-mail me for more. The price is a very fair $9,990 shipped CONUS. I will ship overseas and charge the actual cost to me. Payment via wire tranfer only. References cheerfully supplied. No trades at this time, thanks. Please, serious buyers only.
