I blame you for not getting the appropriate paperwork, and taking the watch to an Omega jeweler to verify it. Shame on you - now go call the police immediately, and good luck with recouping your Rolex.

Harsh, but true. Craigslist is no place for rookies. There are way too many reputable folks right here on the forum to take risks on CL, unless you are a very, very educated collector.
I am sorry to hear it, Paul, and I hope it works out for you.
