If for some reason the buyer is not satisfied with the watch they hand it back, I inspect it and then and only then and the teller will withdraw the money and hand it back to the buyer. This process also protects against counterfeit money issues. Once the bank accepts it it's their responsibility not mine. In fact I also ask the teller to check the money to ensure there are no issues. Sad to see this happen but people must be more aware when doing this.

Surprised your bank would agree to be involved. There is no upside to them and if there is an issue later, they could be in the middle of a mess.
