I guess that is the answer in that it is more common then I thought but seems totally dishonest especially if you don't disclose that you are a re-seller without the watch in hand and provide stock images not actual.
The entire situation of collect money for something you can't immediately ship or guarantee is never going to end well.
I hope to have learned a personal lesson from all of this
