Love Chronographs, tool, military, vintage and field watches. Love the hunt when buying a new one. Here to learn and enjoy everyone’s collection. Only have 3 watches so more of an enthusiast than a co...

Brooooo that sucks. Especially when you SEE the money and think everything is all good.
Very sad. Good to know. Thanks Rusty!
Incredibly ballsy on the perp's part to attempt some Ocean's 11 move in person. No talking your way out of that if the buyer double checks the envelope.
What a plonker 😂
Not nice tho, poor chap .
Once counted the money should have gone right in his pocket. I'd think it odd that the buyer would take it and put it back in the envelope. Big red flag. Esp when you had it in 15 piles of 1,000.
I realize that hindsight is 20-20 vision but...........
Meant very sad, not dad lol

Yes completely. Guy dropped the ball in my opinion.
Oldest trick in the book. Dummy.
Gutted should have bought a hublot,know body would have wanted to buy it and he would still have a watch 💰🤣😂

The rubber band was to deter that. Con artists are really good at what they do. And 99.9% of the people aren't trying to con you so the "honest and transparent" counting out of money seems legit and we trust it. Still sucks.
Buy the seller!
That sucks...honestly why I rarely buy and sell privately. I understand you get the most out of a private sale but you also take on all the risks. It's not worth it in my opinion, take it into a professional reputable preowned dealer. You're not "losing" money, you're hiring a professional to take on all the risks on your behalf and you get complete peace of mind.
This POS has been doing this for a couple of years now. On TRF they have pix of the guy and the authorities have been alerted. The old adage applies: “buy the seller and not the watch…”
Absolutely nuts. Man, you see and COUNT the cash then some fast hands leave you with 1/100th the cash and coupons.....

I do private sales..... At a police station or other secure location

It’s not. If you’re good enough at sleight of hand, you can do it 2 inches from their eyes and they’d never know.
Just use common sense. This was ridiculous. And in your house?!

Not my house 😂

Well of course not! I'd hope you wouldn't publicize this even more 😂
