In an earlier post you claimed NOT to be the "roach13" everyone "knows and despises"...now you say you don't know what he did to aggravate everyone? You've been a member for 2 and a half years?
Dude, something's not adding up...

i've joined 2.5 years ago but did not frequent this forum. only yesterday after my initial post did i start reading... and i also read the Beware! thread... i guess that's where it all started with roach13. if it makes everyone feel that much better, i have no problems changing my id so we don't continue this thread having everyone thinking i'm roach13.

Could you post pics of the watch? It would be more helpful than the poor ebay pics.

certainly, what part of the watch do you wish to see? i know it's good reference for future buyers to know what to look for when they see a high quality fake.

You should have bracelet 98210. Lots of unknowing buyers have fake and wrong bracelets, especially gold ones and don't know it who bought grey and second hand.

Close ups of the face (dial) and the clasp would be good.

That would be great. This thread might get moved to the watch out section but it's been a good learning experience so far.

i agree about having to give new sellers a start at sometime, however not with a $6k item with a "fake location." do your homework on any ebay seller BEFORE buying! make sure you file a pp dispute NOW!

I guess go to the nearest dealer to confirm it wasn't on your mind?

I'm surprised Ebay allowed a seller with 0 feedback to sell something this expensive. I remember trying to sell a couple of Rolex watches on Ebay before and holy sh*t batman did they ever give me a hard time. My feedback at the time was high 80's, with 100% feedback rating. They continued to shut me down, making me alter the listing, making me wait a couple of weeks to re-list, they banned me a couple times. It was ridiculous. Finally after a little while and a lot of proof they left me alone.

Demand the refund first. At this point, this guy has done nothing to prove his honesty.
