Any members from Spain? Need help purchasing a watch.

Post by konax »

Hi all,
like the title says, do we have any members (among our MoT crowd) that are from Spain?
I need help purchasing a watch from a Spanish watch forum, I found one using WatchPatrol app, but the seller does not want to ship outside Spain.
If you'd be able to help me, acting as a trans shipping agent ;) I'll sure make it worth your while. It's not an expensive piece, but I've been looking for one for quite a while now.

I have no experience with those and, frankly, I don't really trust it. Might try it as a last resort.

A little update for those curious: thanks to Conchita Turtle everything went super smooth and I was able to get this Maranez Bangla in pretty rare 44mm size. I was hunting for this piece for the last two years or so (I had set alerts on ebay, forums, fb groups etc.) and when it finally showed up, I knew it could be my only chance. Without Conchita's help it would have been impossible and I am incredibly grateful for his help.

Cool watch! Happy to see you got it. And the fact that somebody here helped you get it adds to the cool factor and the story.

The longer you have to wait for something, the more you will appreciate it when it finally arrives. And you've searched and waited a long time for that Maranez.

I hope you enjoy your fantastic watch. I'm very happy to have been able to be of help to you, and, better of all, to have get a friend.

Pozdrowienia.
