My experience with Balboa
I texted Balboa because I was looking at a TAG Heuer and wanted to know if it was genuine. The seller was offering it to me at around 50% off and told me I could register the watch on the TAG website and that the warranty card would work.
I checked with Balboa before buying, and he told me it was actually an OF Factory piece. That honestly surprised me because the watch could be registered on the TAG website, the warranty card worked, and I later realized that even stores can sometimes pass these off as genuine watches. I actually got this confirmed when I got resized from helios they took it as a gen.The previous seller was asking ₹75K for the exact same watch, while Balboa gave me the same piece for ₹25K. He explained everything and saved me from wasting ₹50k Really glad I asked him before buying. He could have easily just sold me the watch, but instead he was completely upfront and guided me. Definitely saved me a lot of money.
