Thanks.
Not sure but that would be good to know bc that seller usually has competitive prices and they have good feedback. They ship from Voorhees, NJ and have a Bonanza seller account as well. I just sent them a message through Bonanza. I'll let you know if I hear back.

They messaged me back. It sounds like they aren't associated with any other sites or companies.

Hello, unfortunately we only sell on third party websites.

Anyone know if this seller has a stand alone website: america-first? https://ebay.com/usr/america-first

They have a couple of watches at good prices but with tax it sorta kills the good deal.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

They do. They are a Singapore-based seller and they have a whole mess of ebay accounts. They also sell on other platforms such as Amazon, Rakuten, Lazada, etc. The direct website is watcheszon. That used to be the name of their ebay account as well but it appears they now primarily use a few other accounts. I've linked some of them below. Many of their reviews aren't great but it appears you can pay with PayPal if it's any consolation.

^ Thank you sir. I found a couple of their other ebay accounts based on the similarity in naming convention and same products offered for the same price.

Ashford/DWS/watchgooroo no longer sells under the Ashford name on Amazon. It appears that at some point they opened a new Amazon storefront called Clock Wise. There is less inventory on the Amazon store but the inventory they do have definitely matches up with that of Ashford......right down to the rain boots. I added it to the list. :geek:

After looking at the inventory for watchgrabber on ebay, I realized that it matches up with that of Jacob Time. The prices also match up. That includes more obscure watches like the Mulco Blue Marine or the Jivago Ultimate. And even non-watch items like this "Genuine Fresh Water Pearls Earring Necklace Set - Cherry - PS308-CHR" pictured below which sell for $20.34 on both sites. I've added this to the list.

Just received 2 email messages--one from Ashford and the other from UPS--telling me that my purchase should arrive tomorrow. Both have the same tracking number. The UPS email lists the sender as CWS. So, Sherlock that I am, I deduce that Ashford=CWS.

CWS = Certified or CW Sellors?

The email just said CWS. I assumed Certified.

NOT claiming these are the same retailers.
But I did find it odd that these three were using the exact same pics in their listings for the Louis Erard regulator I posted on the deals thread.
More than just the main render pic, but they're all using the exact same actual product photos.
Weird.

Wonder if they're just posting and someone else is fulfilling the sales for them?

I thought maybe they could be manufacturer photos, but they aren't on the LE product page: https://www.louiserard.com/creations/ex ... 54230ag59/

They look like pics that Gemnation will sometimes use (background, positions, etc). Just surprised to see both Ashford and Joma also posting them too.
