There are deals all over the internet however one of the hardest things is how to trust and but a good seller, this is one of the reasons I joined FTW where I hope I will see all kinds of interesting watches. In the meantime this is a watch I came across that I like, is it a good deal? almost everything on the site is described as 99% LNIB.

Clean model and includes card but not box. Watch is 6 years old so probably due for a service. What would it cost to service this watch? Is this a fair price ?

I've always desired the Panerai Laminar 306 (titanium, tobacco dial, tourbillion, dual timezone). Its a LE of just 150 pieces from about 2 decades ago.

A few are now on Chrono24, with one, described as "like new" at $30K. But is even that really worth it for a titanium Panerai today?

Should I wait longer for more to appear at cheaper prices?

I have an opportunity to purchase a JLC Duometre (apprx year is 2012) for $16,800. The watch is 40.5mm diameter and ~13.4mm in height. The watch is naked (no box and no papers) but I trust the seller and have done prior business with him. I have tried on the watch and its a special timepiece, certainly one that you don't see every day. Given that the watch is naked, is $16,800 reasonable and given the uniqueness of this watch, should find an example that does come with papers?

Thanks,

Joel
