16610LV Look genuine

Looking at 16610LV and been offered this one, anyone tell me if it rings any alarm bells?

uh oh. To the OP, do NOT proceed with this transaction.

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.

I've only been on this forum for a few weeks but believe me OP, these guys are sound and they know what they're talking about.

Looks fine but IF you have to ASK then you don't know the seller well enough and your not safe. Heck who knows if that is even the watch you will be sent?! Unless you are picking it up in person.

It's cliche almost by now but "BUY THE SELLER".

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.
