Does anyone have experience buying from ebay in US? anything that I should be aware of that I may be missing?

Came across this, US version of the SKX007, have to say I prefer the look of this version,AFAIK only difference is the indices, second hand and country of manufacture

I've bought from ebay.com and from American sellers with no issues. Just make sure they'll actually post to Ireland. A lot of American sellers are US only(even if they're down as 'worldwide') and are rarely for budging. Take import taxes and duties into account too. There was a time where stuff would get through more often that it wouldn't but that time is long gone.

Ditto for me. Have bought a fair few times from the US. The import duty and fees was always my biggest gripe with the global shipping program for a relatively cheap watch you should be ok.

This watch seems ok but I would want a look at the insides of it.

The seller seems to have a good reputation. I wonder if they are a pawnbroker though!

Yeah,the name is definitely giving something away! I've asked seller about condition of watch and accuracy so will see what if any response comes back on that
