Are J.Boss cases always Gold Filled?

Just wondering from all the discussion I have seen cases marked J.Boss 14K Guaranteed 20 years are gold filled. Is this always correct?

Movado Polyplan

Jewelers have said this watch is in excellent condition. Found in my mother's safe deposit box - was my great uncle's watch; last worn in the 1950s. Does anyone have suggestions on how to establish price and whether it should be subject to auction? Any other suggestions would also be welcome.

I can'i believe Omega.....

.....I have an old (1944) Omega bump hammer auto in 18K. It runs, keeps time. and is solid. I got nostalgic and thought to get it cleaned , new crystal, maybe new dial. Went to Omega's site and found the local service shop. Just got the call, it's too old for them, must be sent to Switzerland for evaluation. $800.00 plus $75.00 shipping if I want the service. WTF??? Are they just blowing me off or what? To the Bay. If wishes were horses beggars would ride.

Omega or Omega fake??? Deville Quartz

Well I have an "omega" watch, which I would like to list, but do not want to get into trouble with eBay in case it is a fake. I truly want to thank you all beforehand!!! I took this watch to my jeweler and he says it is real. He says it needs a coil, a cleaning and and overhaul, he did not add a battery....because it would not work as it is. Do you all think this may be original? Is it a ladies or men, or both? The speidel black lizard grain band is deteriorating.

Shipping a Watch to Russian Federation

Is it safe to ship a Men's fashion watch to the Russian Federation? The potential buyer has 100% feedback. Does paypal do the currency conversion? What are the shipping methods and costs involved?

Recently i have faced with the problem on Ebay: i have put the Omega watch, received as a gift from my previous place of work, and later on it was found as replica watch.

The negotiations are on going. so keep checking the site. www.NoFakeWatches.org www.NoFakeWatches.net This is not advertisement, spam or something like it, my only aim is to help the people to spend their money on the real things.

Rolex Victory

I have my Dad's Rolex Victory watch, which he left me when he passed away. He was a Vet. from WW2 in the Canadian Army and served over seas. I was at a Antique fair a few weeks ago and there was a guy with a booth selling watches. He was sort of doing appraisals on site and he looked at mine and said he would give me 20.00 for it. Not that I would part with it but surely that can't be fair value. Anyone have an idea of the value? Mac

Trade mark violation - Listing keeps getting removed - Please help!

Hi all, I'd bought a rolex watch from eBay about an year back from a seller here (marlin57) for about 1500 dollars. I was really happy with this watch but moved on now and bought a Jaeger, but have not been able to sell it back now and cant figure out why. though my recent listing has been removed by eBay, you can see an older listing of the same watch (item 120432130136). That buyer backed out and i've been trying to relist it ever since and failed. Can somebody here tell me what is wrong with my listing and why eBay is removing it? I called their helpdesk and was told to post my question here. Appreciate your help.

Guarantee repair of a watch

I have bought a watch. The seller has declared a guarantee 2 years. For two years a watch has broken three times. Guarantee repair has been made free of charge two times. In third time the seller demands payment of repair and the postage. The guarantee has ended 8/06/2009. The Watch has been sent the seller 21/05/2009. There is a post receipt with sending date. How I can complain of the seller who does not carry out guarantee certificates?

Lucerne Swiss -Donada Watch are they the same?

Hi, I purchased a ladies watch at an estate sale,very pretty. The face says Lucerne Swiss made. Antimagnetic (wind-up). When I took the back cover off to check,jewels,etc., its (the time piece) marked Donada watch. ZM 5500. Is this common or not? What does it mean? I would think the time piece would be marked Lucerne/Swiss. Thank you

Which Watch? Vintage Lucerne watch-Do they make reproductions?

Greetings to these boards! I hope I'm in the right place for answers I recently sold this Vintage Lucerne ladies' watch to a friend, and was confident it was from the 40's-50's. But when she took it to a jeweler, she was told it was a "reproduction"?! I do believe the band is "newer". And are those genuine "diamond" chips? I got the watch at an estate sale along with many others like it, and was shocked to hear this. IS it true? Were "reproductions" made of these wind-up vintage beauties? Appreciate any guidance or feedback from you! Thanks to all! It's all in a day's work

Infringing Items

Hello all, I recently had a few of my Rolex watches taken down off of eBay because of a trademark violation. As far as I know, the watches I am selling are real. I want to know how you can get authorization to sell these types of items. Is there something special I am supposed to do to prevent my items from getting taken down? I contacted eBay about this, but they weren't very helpful. Any tips from those watch sellers out there? Thanks in advance

Bernoulli watch

I bought a Bernoulli watch cheap. (thank the lord for that) Wore it a couple of days and then put it away for a couple of months. Put it on again and it is now dead. No pulse, no signs of life. Beware.

Am I still required to pay?

Hi, I have my eyes on a watch that cost within the region of 2800 to 3000. Problem is the seller has 0 feedback but has been a member since 2004. Strange ? My question is, if I were to win the watch and have it inspected for authenticity first before payment, if the results are that its a fake, am I bound by any ebay rules or laws that I still have to pay for the watch? Common sense would of course say NO, but I would like to know ebay's stand on the issue and what my fellow members have to say too. Will I be blacklisted by ebay? Thanks.

Help with vintage Ladies Hamilton watch

I'm considering listing this watch that I inherited from my grandmother, but would like some feedback from you experts if possible. It's 14K gold....am I correct to assume it is white gold? Also, I'm sure the band is not the original as it is marked "Speidel". Is is worth my while to try to find an original band or is the value more in the diamonds and the watch itself? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Holly
