Watches24seven has been hacked

I just noticed the new posts from watches24seven and they are old listings. I called Bruce at his number from older posts and his account has been hacked. Check number on old listings and use the email that was previously listed.
Hacker removed email.

I received an offer to purchase my 126613LB. I'm not too surprised that his account has been hacked. Given that the whole thing seemed very fishy.

I hope everyone will upgrade their login to two factor. Easy to do and its free.

I would be nice to hear from Bruce, since he totes his wears on this site. Very strange since this post has been up for most of the day, and he's not banned here.

This is the "real" Bruce with Watches24seven. I would like to apologize to everyone that was affected by my account being hacked. Please let me know if I can help in anyway.

The Rolex Forum staff has been working diligently with me since this happened. I can assure you they are very serious about these illegal practices and behaviors.

There is a reason I took so long to post this response. Please understand that when my account was hacked I lost control of my account and could no longer login. So my access to posting was limited. As soon as I realized my account was compromised, I contacted the forum. I also asked Don (Juantime) and others to post in this section and the regular forum and post a thread warning others. It took a day or so for the Rolex Forum to verify that I am the "real" Bruce and to establish a new safe account. Stephen and the Rolex team have been incredibly helpful!

Thanks to Ismat (ip20171) for recommending a two factor sign in. I also recommend it for all.

Please feel free to contact me here, email me directly at info@watches24seven or call 314.249.8262 or 863.888.0247

I hope members are not afraid to deal with me in the future. Always call me before you make a financial payment to verify that we are both on the same page.

Thank you,
Bruce
