similar experience. Wanted to buy his batgirl... Exchanged some texts with him and then tried to call. things got shady from there. Offered to meet him half way between Indy and St Louis and he went radio silent.

i bought his batgirl https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=835148
and made payment on the 7th January 2022.

he provided 2 references

I truly hope this does not turn into another one of those wired money horror stories.

I'm confused, if you click on your links, this "seller" is not even a pledge member. How are they able to list anything? Or were they and it's expired?

Wire takes one day if not hours to clear. Your wire was made Friday, so latest it’ll clear is Monday 1/10 morning. NEVER wire unless you’ve exchange personal info and ALWAYS do a video chat to confirm seller and availability of the watch.

Best of luck and keep us updated!

The pictures in that listing are of two different watches...the first being with a fake pillow/box.

I see two different pillows...no doubt. But what makes that two different watches and not just a disorganized seller taking some pictures and then a few more after finding the right box?

That’s wishful thinking. Most likely a scammer mixing up pics from different sale posts..

I have never been accused of wishful thinking. It is my cold opinion.

Not only that, the pictures are square cropped. A clear indication the photos were lifted off social media.

I've been in contact with him to buy his batgirl and even today he messaged me back if I was still interested in it.
