Ahhh. Thank you, Haywood.

This is the thread that keeps on giving. I have to admit I have no "dog in the hunt" but it's so damn interesting.

Cripes — compared to VRF, TRF seems barely censored at all. ;)

It's too long since this thread floated to the top, but we should perhaps keep the cross-linking going :

Thank you all for keeping us greenhorns safer.

What a read! Thankful I never ran into his site before Kingface turned me on to this thread.

jfmiii · 25 January 2019, 12:05 AM

Luke Rottman at it again! Do people really buy watches from this clown?!

linesiders · 25 January 2019, 12:24 AM

I would need to do my due diligence but it looks like a service dial to me - a very nice one, but a service dial.

It's a service dial.

Love how Maron tries to come across as some flattering stranger.
He’s a BUSINESS PARTNER.

How pathetic is this? It's akin to shill bidding

springer · 25 January 2019, 04:43 AM

A GMT 1675 tritium service dial for sure. Someone needs to "bone-up" on service dials!!!

So, so deceptive and wrong. Wow.

And there's nothing wrong with a nice service dial, of course, but for goodness sake, know what you're selling and advertise it properly. I got blocked/banned from Rottman's IG account after pointing out a bad vintage Daytona dial. Lucky me.

This saga sounds a lot like the Fyre saga. Once a con, you cant ever give up being a con.

This was a very interesting read. I haven't been amused by a forum thread like this in quite a while.

I was pretty confident it was a service dial ; ) and a nice one ; ) - I wasn't going to go absolute without a lookup in the notes

Thanks for ensuring all TRFers are aware of this seller and his less than transparent links with Mr Maron.

I’d say the two principles in this charade might be conspiring to defraud a potential buyer. And using the Internet makes it a federal crime here in US, right?

I follow both Bob Marron and "The Watch Adviser" on instagram largely bc I follow 100s of watch people on instagram, but I would not buy ANYTHING from either of them.

They are both hucksters to me, Marron at the big league level and Luke at the minor league level; Luke has posted several watches that are just full of 'red flags' and seems to not care.

What bugs me about them is just sell the watches as they are, admit it has a service dial and sell it for less versus lying to unsuspecting buyers.
