hopefully noone will have to go through what the OP and I've experienced.

Are you being entirely serious? If so this could be significant info. What are the details?

A lot of people have mentioned seeing it on Instagram. What account has posted it? I'm always looking for good watch accounts to follow.

Police stations are the only place to execute this kind of thing.

The guy doesn't even do laundry?

We weren’t there, so don’t know exactly how it went down. Maybe their was a nod of the head from the seller, or maybe when the thief said “let me take a look”, there was no effort from the seller to stop the handover.

Either way, it sounds like the seller was duped and was going to let the buyer handle the watch. But I agree, the safe thing for the shop to do was not get involved beyond preliminary authentication.

Yep, I was too nervous about being scammed when I sold my BLNR last year. Went the easy/safe route and sold to TS, but that piece of mind probably cost me more than $1K.

This is the same guy that stole my watch at a Starbucks in OC. When I saw his picture I recognized him. He rain with my Breitling and there was 20 people inside the Starbucks. Lighting Quick. I almost caught him but just missed . I would love to put him away. I never got my watch back

mspeed76 · 2 July 2019, 05:39 PM

sorry to hear...

btw the good news is that the police did find and arrest this guy at his apartment. He committed this same exact crime multiple times and was wanted by different police departments around LA/OC

Unfortunately no watches were recovered and he isnt talking

Richard6xdx · 2 July 2019, 05:47 PM

I would like to press charges . Do you have any info on him . I just sent you a PM

jbk45 · 3 July 2019, 06:56 AM

I hope they nail this f#$ker - wishing you the best possible outcome, OP!
