like i said , i will give him one chance to come clean out of this...maybe i am just naive but i will give at least a chance to make the right decision and refund my money.

Maybe he didn't know either.

I can easily see someone buying an item in good faith and two years later learning it is fake. Don't understand the skeptic responses.
OP, are you certain the person that serviced it is correct relative to authenticity?

[Krypt0n1te]

Many a time I've jumped to conclusions too soon. I'll sit back and see how this one plays out.

I was wondering if anyone went thru this kind of situation and how they dealt with it. I not divulging any infos yet in case that this could jeopardize my case...will update and post pics soon. If in the case this is not resolved..I will put him on the stage.

You aren't doing much to help us help you... just sayin

[Kingface66]

Any developments? Word from the seller?

[dub926]

For all the skepticals .. Hope this might help some of us to be careful and diligent before buying anything online...trust me , i have learned from this.

[juniorlawrence]

I don't understand people attacking the OP makes no sense. Sorry to hear that OP

Just wow! Thanks for sharing this. Would you mind sharing info on the seller?

[c41006]

Ouch! Yeah that's pretty bad.

Any word from the seller in terms of resolving this? If you haven't been able to make contact with him by now, I think it's time to tell us who he is.

[blue16613]

Geeeze! Who needed to take the case back off?? The way that warranty card was filled out would have been enough to make me run in the other direction.

But, what could you do?? You were an inexperienced buyer dealing with a so called trusted seller. And because the words "trusted seller" imply something special, you trusted him. Many more inexperienced buyers would have done the same.

This seller is NOT a trusted seller. You owe it to those who might be his future victims to divulge his identity. Why should others have to go through the same as you??

Agree. Any legit "trusted seller" wouldn't be caught trying to pass that off

X2. On the identify reveal, other members of TRF need to know who it is.

The only person to use the term Trusted Seller in this thread is you. Stop stirring.

OP, you should name the seller, and ask him to come to this thread and speak up.

Well, if you don't count your fellow moderator in post #17, you are correct.

He is not a moderator, and you know what I mean. OP never said Trusted Seller.

My apologies, I thought Gladiator was........

No, the OP never said trusted seller. All he said was "I purchased a 116660 from a member on these forums.checked members feedbacks , members selling posts and everything...the guy seemed legit."

So, what I want to know is how someone morphs from that kind of description into a "trusted seller." I've heard the same sorts of words used to describe someone who is called a trusted seller. Your point, if I am understanding you correctly, is that even though what was said by the OP, was said, this seller was not a trusted seller. So, how exactly does one rise to that level?

I'm sorry, we have already agreed to disagree about this trusted seller business. As I've said MANY times before, I do not deny that some who sell here can be trusted that they are selling something they honestly believe to be totally as advertised. But I just don't understand how exactly the unofficial TRF designation of "trusted seller" gets determined..... and your push back here makes it all the more perplexing to me. What if instead of the words he used as a new poster.... and one not familiar with TRF lingo.... he did use the words "trusted seller?" What would your take have been then??

He didn't. You did. I'm getting tired of your constant sniping on this forum about "trusted sellers", and I have already given you one warning about it, given you chances, and you promised to stop. You seem to have an agenda here, as has been pointed out before. As for my so-called "push back", you are out of line. Again.

No one is protecting trusted sellers, certainly not me. But you've reached the end of the line on TRF.

[jbreeden]

I have to step in for two reasons first and foremost to apologize to the OP for claiming this was a fake story, second to say i am sorry this has happened to him and now to encourage him to come forward with information on the seller. Hope this gets worked out for you.

To play devil's advocate, pictures like that could be from anywhere.

If legit I do feel for him though.

[Chewbacca]

is the serial number the same as on the inner rehaute?

did you pay import duties when it came and does the paperwork from Customs match the inner rehaute and card serial number?

are there images of the original ad (screenshots) of this watch from when you bought it?

who, where, did you get it from?

how did you pay?

name the seller, because we can still try to help and maybe help others if this seller is still in business and he/she can offer some info too.

[jrwilkes81]

Oh man, this is bad. I think the OP needs to come forward with the seller. geez

[123Blueface]

Wow.
So sad.
So sorry.

Agree OP should identify seller should advise them to respond on this thread.

[kelv_w]

Pardon my ignorance, how do you guys tell that's a fake?

[johnjm]

I call BS until the OP says who the seller is, or the seller comes chiming in. 3 years...

Compare OP's photos to this.

This is going to be impossible to prove either way unless:

a) The advertisement from a few years ago can still be located and a partial serial number is visible on the watch and/or card which matches the serial of the fake.

b) The seller keeps a record of sold watch serial numbers and is willing to admit he/she sold this one.

There were some really good DSSD fakes discussed on the forum a couple years ago where even an AD was fooled and I guess folks were reluctant to open the back because they can't fully pressure test the Deepsea afterwards. But this isn't a fake of that caliber.
