It's one thing to have an instagram with some cool stuff on it and show off a little...it's part of a marketing strategy in this internet of things business model for luxury goods and lifestyle. Those guys have a 100% legitimate business with employees, processes and integrity. These bruhs who blast all there luxury $%# all over the place and sell watches off their rich bros wrist as their own stock are just bad news..No plan. No solvency. Just bling and risky business. I have dealt with one of these types in the infancy of all this $%^. It was for some watch straps. The communication was so juvenile and over the top douche that I just couldn't deal with the bruh any longer....and that was just for less than $500 in straps. I couldn't imagine sending these guys serious money for anything....#no#no#brah |

I actually heard/felt my stomach churn twice before deciding not to read on. This is not what the hobby is about. Sincerely all the best with this man.

I applaud the OP for being a gentleman.
I wouldn't be that calm and that understanding with $35K of my hard earned money floating out there. As for Mike Russo, I exchanged a few emails and texts back in 2016 for a GMT. He immediately rubbed me the wrong way and came across as your typical upstate NY wanna be baller thug. He deals with sneakers, hangs around with the Lamborghini and Ferrari crowd in upstate and NNJ - Cars and Coffee and cruises at the usual spots. There's two types of hang outs around the tri-state for supercar owners - The enthusiasts and the douchebags - He hangs with the latter. Probably would not be too hard to find if OP truly wanted to - I would be embarrassed to even go anywhere near insta and be a giant loser/poser while owing someone $35K Sent from my SM-N950U1 using Tapatalk

Unfortunately, he has plausible deniability. Tough lesson.

HELP! $35K nightmare w/ MB23 aka Michael Russo Rolex dealer

If someone stole $35,000 from me and then had the stupidity to flash “new inventory” to sell in front of a lambo, and I could find his ass, I would go get some collateral on my loan to him. This guy is a dirtbag wannabe and Fleetlord and Carlos have hit the nail on the head. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Sadly the op is being played as a fool. I would get one of this person’s Pateks as repayment or my money NOW.If not I would get ahold of the DA in crook’s city as well as every authority I could find and take every legal action available. Crazy!!!And we even have people on this thread commending Op for being a gentleman- really ?!?!!!Unbelievable!

If so, he has the choice to approach the situation however he pleases. So if you think he is being played a fool or not it is merely an opinion and it doesn't take away from the OPs character. Whereas you and I would take an aggressive and less diplomatic approach, he chose to deal with this passively and I don't think anybody has the right to judge the OP over that choice.

Not judging him but his actions. You are right , it is his money. If he wants to lose it and enable a con man to continue in his theft he certainly has a right to. Not sure how that makes him a “gentleman”. Really ??

Gentleman does not equal getting taken advantage of. A huge difference between being polite, respectful, accommodating..........and waiting 6 months, for something still not rectified, while a poser wannabe is flashing jewels in your face and you just sit back and pray he comes through. |

I can be even a bit jealous that he uses this manner. I really can't be so diplomatic and nice…… But i do respect that he does, actually i quite like it... |

Once the OP took partial payment this became a civil issue. I doubt anyone would make an arrest or prosecute the seller at this time.
