Or catch him, ask him for pics with his name and the time and date on a piece of paper next to the watch... see what he says/does.

Guys that is incredible and I am so pleased I posted the pics on here!!!! He even airbrushed over the small nick just by the 50 mark on the Bezel, no wonder he was reluctant to give me the serial number when I asked....
It was from goldwatchco.com where I saw it... |

ALARM - DANGER - AVOID.

That`s why you always ask for the serial number.

The first thing I did was ask for the Serial number but all he said was its M, full serial on receipt of wire! I knew it was fishy then!!
Big massive thanks to all on here for the help with this. I e mailed him so will let you know if I get a response but I doubt I will!!! Feel for people who have been done by him in the past.... |

Just thought about this.... He is also a member of this forum otherwise he wouldn't be able to see pictures on this forum without logging in. Wonder what this person's handle is.

Wow! I'm contacting the owner of goldwatchco. I did a deal with Dennis as recently as last week and it went smoothly. This is strange...

That is why you ask for a photo with a time and date you specify with your name on a piece of paper in the background.
That way you know the seller has the watch.

From what I heard, it was Dennis Gold himself who did this. I would say lets sit back and let the OP get the excuse via email before we trigger an alarm in him to start back tracking.
