Watch out for "MIC6"

Watch out for dealing with "MIC6", his email :maestro@mail.ntua.gr, name: Michael Ikonomou. Location: Greece.

He sold me a Panerai watch and listed in Timezone as "LNIB", but the watch came with scratch and dent, he also poorly packed the box without any bubble or protection, it results that my wooden box arrived damaged.

He first told me he will take the watch back but need 1 month to get the fund together, then later he refused to take it back and ignore all my emails.

If you check Watcnet "Deal Watch", there is another buyer in France encountered the same problem as poor packing, received watch with scratches, promised to take it back and refused later.

He posted as professor in an University of Athen, so he sounds legit, but he hinds the fact about the watch condition (usually has scratches) and intentionally pack the box without protection, so when you receive the watch with scratch, he will claim it is not his problem, it is FedEx problem, the scratch got on to the watch during shipping.

Not a honest person to deal with at all.

Please please if there are any grievances against another forum member, be objective and just state the case. Adding emotions or judgments can be counterproductive.
Just my opinion.

Glad that it worked out!!!

always good

to hear that dispute is resolved.
This section also helps to get some folks keep their words if they want to continue to sell/buy on TRF.
