- if seller can't agree to the terms when dealing with high value money, then no deal.
- avoid seller with no references or newbies or flippers. They have no knowledge in shipping or experience.
- for 20K watch, I would fly out there and get it authenticated by a professional...no exception. Then again, I would just buy it locally from a local with reputation. There are plenty of Rolex watches out there....

I agree with all these points, but why can’t you just FaceTime with the seller? I’ve purchased 4 pieces here and have FaceTimed/Skyped or F2F before any money was sent so I could see the person I’m doing biz with catch a screenshot of them as well as make sure the piece I’m inquiring about is in their possession
Sorry OP but your in a horrible situation that probably won’t get resolved in your favor. These cyber criminals have taken theft to a new level, use all resources you have to protect your hard earned cabbage rather than just trusting some references
