If he sent whole amount he would have been a FOOL!! Sorry but nobody sells a WG Sub or any other watch for half it's wholesale cost!

To the OP....Hilarious!

Nice! I post more on other watch forums, but check on here quite often (I have a GMTIIC!).

I hate scammers, as I was taken by one early on in my collecting days on a 5500 Air king. I got the money back, but now try to find scammers and out them every chance I get.

Here's a story from early this year....enjoy!

That's a bloody hilarious story Andy!

...So, how was the flour? I hope you made some victory pancakes after that!

You my friend are my hero. Bravo.

I love messing with the scammers on ebay and craigslist. I enjoy taking up there time because I always hope it's saving somebody else from being scammed.
