I don't think the seller is going to do much about it now since he hasn't done anything for nearly a month.

Maybe the mods should step in and ban him and his accomplice Eric?

Sellers been posting on reddit today. I know his username over there.

So it's pretty clear at this point he wasn't just on long vacation or something and he pulled a fast one on me. Can officially say do not deal with William Connor!

Sorry to hear, OP.

Not sure if appropriate to post up more details of bank account #, address (return address on shipping package?), phone number etc. so it turns up on a google search or other searches? Just in case he tries to sell something under a different username on here or through other avenues.

Sorry you were not able to get things resolved with the seller, OP.

I think this thread has run its course. There is nothing left to do except ban the seller and close the thread.

Clearly to me the seller is a liar and he planned the whole thing in the very beginning.
That is, he intended to be a cheater in the very beginning. There is no misunderstanding here.

I wouldn't close the thread yet. I'll have the watch either tomorrow or Monday, and will get it cleaned up and looking good as new. I'll post updated pictures once it's done, bring the situation whole for him and get it back to him by mid next week.

That would be nice to see it looking good for the OP. Very nice gesture on your part!

yes, but closing this one, and you opening a new one, allows a fresh start, with a POSITIVE thread highlighting your work.

this thread is just a dumpster fire.

will the administration ban the seller because there's a .00000000000001 chance that he thought the watch was minti(ish) I mean it's obvious to most what has happened but if he came on this thread and said " my opinion of the watch is it was excellent condition with little wear, so no refund." would he be banned ??

I banned him as clearly he has logged on and is ignoring this thread and his responsibility. So bye bye Anothernewphone.

Also class act William and look forward to seeing how the watch came out after polish. Good luck with it OP and enjoy your new watch!

Absolute respect Ken and the right thing to do. I am glad access to the forum can weave out the negative and bring in the positive.. kudos to William and again, class act.

Chad, were you ever able to get a hold of the seller?

I'm looking forward to seeing the watch once polished. Although the OP didn't resolve the issue with the seller, there will be a happy ending thanks to you. Great job!

Just read the entire thread, whew!

I hope that the OP will get a nice minty looking watch after a good polish.

Also, this thread was informative in highlighting a couple of CRAZY people on TRF, and sadly they probably don't realized how obvious they are

Wow what a thread, years of good reputation down the drain. All the seller had to do was send it off for a polish before selling it to op and this could be avoided.

WOW! What a good book. I meant thread. LOL

Sorry OP, I'm sure that explorer will clean up nicely and I still think you're in it at a decent price. Kudos to all the members that did the leg work.

We got started on it about 20 minutes ago. Shouldn't be an issue at all to make it look brand new, I tried to get decent photos of the watch prior to it being polished, it definitely had some marks on it and was not as represented in the photos by the seller. The good news it with a little work she'll be good as new hopefully by the end of business today. -William.

Same. I'm sure it will look great and the OP will be able to wear it with joy.

That watch has been used daily. I know because it looks exactly like my watch.
