Yes tricky one but I think the way it works is caveat emptor (buyer beware).

It’s up to him to do due diligence at the point of sale (or before) but that doesn’t include you trying to find a jeweller who provides a verification only service (surprisingly few do).

I would offer a money back arrangement if you trust the guy but then you open yourself up to risk - like someone swapping the movement for a damaged or fake one or just returning you a fake watch.

If he wants a risk free purchase he should go to an AD, by going private sale he needs to accept an element of risk and offset that with his ability to spot a genuine piece.

You’re the one doing him a favour by selling him a nice Daytona.
