With all do respect, and I mean that honestly, writing a thread about another member with so much left out and not explaining the situation at all is something any other member would have got banned for. Having talked many times with Tristan and doing a few deals with members on here myself many things can go wrong. I am not taking your side or Tristan's but now the way this has played out people have no choice but to take a side. I truely believe that this will work out. But to keep the integrity of this form intact and I have been here since this form basically started and this forum has grown in leaps and bounds and we have many amazing members, transperancy should be at the forefront, not bashing a member and not giving any facts. Just my 2 cents and I totally would be pissed if I were in your shoes and Obviously the mods are going to probably want to ban me from this but if it were any other member on here life would be over for them. I love this forum, I'm on it every day, but the integrity must be kept. Cheers

It might be best to close this down before someone does get banned over a misunderstanding and someone else's bad deal. If the parties involved were other people, no one would care, other than to note not to deal with XXXXXXX. The word is out there. He's got to fix things ASAP and clear his name, though it may not happen until he returns from France.

Don't make assumptions.
Don't take sides. All I want is this to be resolved.

I have no dog in this issue..
However, remember that the most successful con men are able to put on a persona that provides a sense of comfort, camaraderie, and security.. They come across as warm, generous and caring....... and may even fabricate endearing personal situations.... Until they get the score, or scores that was the intent all along............ Don't judge on an Internet, virtual reality of how you "think" somebody is... judge them on the facts and actual actions.... At this point, facts and actions - more than this one instance - are contrary to what some of you seem to think...........

Maybe he got his credit card bill from partying with Dalip!
Just trying to lighten the mood. One other consideration is that while $3800 is a significant amount of money, it's not "a lot" of money to many, and that may be a factor here. One party misjudging the urgency of the situation. Who knows. I hope it all works out. Peace.

It takes either serious cojones or being an idiot to try and scam the owner of one of the most iconic watch forums on the internet today.
It's bizarre that Steve paid on August 4, but yet Tristan was on here as last as Aug 16 talking about a transactions - http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=139707 |

What I find unusual is that France, Greece or wherever you may be, have telephones, internet access etc for communication with others in the world.
So in this instance, let me see if I understand - somebody sells a watch, the watch isn't received, the buyer gets the run-a-round for three weeks and the seller leaves the country for ominous reasons and fails to contact the buyer about the purchase. Let me say from decades of experience, to all those here that are still in the dark, this should be a major "red flag" if it ever happens to you. It was well within any parameters on this forum, or on any forum, to make others aware of this incident. Thanks to those that support the Watchout section of this forum.

I am in Greece at the moment for the summer and due to the lifestyle, location, cost, excuses etc people do not sit in front of a computer all day long so if you are NOT expecting emails etc you might not check every day or even wait once a week BUT if you are there are few excuses as if you want to or need to get internet access or make a phone call even in a remote village you can.

Now, tell me Nicko, when you're not away vacationing, do you really sit in front of your computer all day? Let me know when you get back so I can start emailing you again!

John there are really NO excuses for lack of communication is what I really wanted to say above. I think everybody has a cell phone these days or has a number they can be reached at given prior notice.Watches can be an addiction and believe me anybody into watches will find a way to check into a forum or so to get there fix sooner or latter and I dont care if your on an island.

It's very worrying to have to wait for something for 3 weeks not knowing the answers.
Best of luck getting the watch or your money back Steve |

Lets all hold on here, the ball's in Tristan's court.
We could speculate all day and night, it gets us nowhere. Apart from making this thread as a public warning, I'm the only one who is in this situation. I am hoping for a timely resolution. I have had a telephone call from Tristan in the last hour, which is good. As I said lets not jump the gun here. A positive outcome is still possible.

Thank god he called...This is what I told him last night when he called. I told him to stop wasting time calling me and call you. We all handle things differently and in this case it seems some reflection may be in order. Here I am 5 min. before a class on Tapatalk in my car writing this. COMMUNICATION IS PARAMOUNT hell 100 bucks is a lot of money for me and if I were Stevo I would be climbing the walls. Praying for a positive outcome.

Hi Steve,
Sometimes everything that can go wrong goes wrong in one transaction but I have a strong feeling that this will resolve itself to your satisfaction.
