Does this site seem legit?? We already confirmed that the pictures are of a real watch, but is this site legit??? Has anyone bought a watch through this company? Supposedly based out of Canada, yet they want me to wire money to their 'agent' in London. Thoughts???

Thanks!

-Sean

*edit: forgot to mention that the site says that they are now owned by Chrono24.com.
*2nd edit: I apologize for posting this in the wrong section, thanks for moving it.

To update: I am working with the support staff of Chrono24.com to determine if this is a legit site/offer. They claim to be owned by Chrono24.com which seems to be a fairly legitimate site for buying/selling pre-owned watches. I have forwarded them all of the information I have as far as correspondence with the apparent seller and with watchchoice.com as well. I will let you know what (if anything) I find out.

Thanks-

Sean

Chrono24 has verified it as a fraudulent listing on the watchchoice.com website. They essentially listed the watch on the site and then when you express interest send you a fraudulent email mimicking that of the actual site to try and entice you to make a payment via western union to an agent in London.

It does not appear that the watchchoice.com website as a whole is fraudulent, but, like anywhere else you just need to be very cautious.

Thanks-

Sean
