Introducing eBay Watches: Authenticity Guaranteed

Rather than rely on the honesty of the eBay seller, every watch above this price bracket will be fully vetted and verified by Stoll & Co., one of the US’s most respected watch service centres that has recently set up a UK base.

Doesn’t actually work in reality though. There authenticator Stoll & Co. has multiple complaints against them for damaging customer watches and then claiming they are not at fault. After the watch is damaged and rejected by the buyer they are offering to purchase the watches from the sellers at drastically reduced prices. Basically corporately sponsored theft by both eBay and Stoll & Co. Now it isn’t just buyer beware, it’s sellers beware.

If I believe right all watches that are shipped to Stoll are opened under high definition camera to show proof if a watch is damaged upon arrival to Stoll.

@@MegaDean420 Why are we not discussing the most important aspect of Ebay, watch buying and having the watch case opened? Ebay tells me they open the back case for inspection, unless its a clear back. So a Rolex will be opened, allegedly, because some say, they take watches in and the same day they ship them out, but lets assume that they do, which is what concerns me. Are they properly checking the seal and if need be, are they replacing it with a factory standard seal? Are they properly pressurizing the watch to factory standards. Ebay says yes. Ok, so they have high quality gaskets for all makes and models and are properly closing them and again, pressurizing the watch? Who is responsible if I buy a high end Divers watch and the watch gets water in it, even though the crowns are properly closed, I asked. They had no response, other than, their company in Ohio is very reputable and please don't worry. Why no mention of this?
