I am sorry to the buyer here but the seller is scamming you. The longer he waits, it gives him more time for your funds to leave his account so you cannot reverse your original wire. Clever scammers know this, and after funds hit their account they use stall tactics for 5-7 days to get the funds out of the account and the account closed. In hindsight there are just far to many red flags here: deal for two watches turns into one, item shows up missing and was never scanned by an organization that probably is not even allowed to accept packages until they can scan them, then all this hassle with getting a wire that should take 24 hours. I am really sorry. I know all the above because I have been through it. And as many have pointed out, we keep trying to rationalize all these inconsistencies because we are hoping and praying that we did not just get scammed. But anyone on this forum will tell you that legit deals with legit buyers/sellers go smoothly, with some exceptions.
