So guys, I’ve been reading through the forum a lot, researching a lot, and ended up with these two. I’m from Europe, age 37, male, and currently in the search of my first watch...ever! Starting from Tissot, up to Longinnes, up to TAG, I stopped at this A1731311/G820 in silver. The offer locally where I live is inexistent with ADs, and then on the gray market very limited. In EU could not find a single one in NEW condition, and in US found two traders, one with 2018 new condition, and one with a 2017 mint condition. I would rather have the NEW one, on one hand due to enjoying the new product experience/feeling, on the other due to little financial difference vs the pre-owned one.
Contacted them both via chrono24, the trader with the NEW one not so responsive, but in the end managed to get some pics of the piece - doesen’t really look like new to me. And got no feedabck on the seller ( no individual website, no other reviews other than chrono24).
The trader with the pre-owned one is very responsive, plenty of transactions, lots of feedback on the internet - seems more trustfull...just that the bezel and bracelet have some scratches, I even got some high-res pics on it, and again, the price diff is very low to worth it for me.
The dillema now is which one to get?
