Is it ok if it costs $500 more?

I don't think anyone saw that ending coming. My money was on the package containing a fake or a brick.

So close to the deal of a lifetime

Yup, makes zero sense. If this kid comes from that much money no reason to sell that watch even if he never puts it on his wrist!

On a positive note I see Tyler finally received his Pilot! Looks incredible bud!

Too bad it blew up but this proves the type of person you were dealing with.

Walmart money? Is his grandfather a Walton? Yet, he's selling a watch when his family has billions? He has a 10 year old account at the age of 21?

I am not sure what is more fishy/fake, the watch or the story itself.

I'm also glad it "worked out" in the end. But yeah, this whole story sounds very odd from start to end.

Cheers,
Joe

This is either a troll / shady story. The watch definitely looks fake and the deal sounds off.

If it's too good to be true, it normally is. There are no super crazy deals with watches unless it's stolen or fake or Hublot

The OP could post a picture of the Paypal transaction to prove the story is real. I would welcome him to do so. But until then, I agree with you.
