Looking at 16610LV and been offered this one, anyone tell me if it rings any alarm bells?

mjclark32 · 13 October 2011, 06:29 AM

No expert, but looks good to me.

Nairn1980 · 13 October 2011, 06:37 AM

Looks like a beauty to me, everything looks totally genuine!

DolphinV8 · 13 October 2011, 06:43 AM

Looks good.

ericloso · 13 October 2011, 06:43 AM

Excuse my ignorance but whats the "s" about on the strap by the clasp? I am new to all of this!

jizeal · 13 October 2011, 06:47 AM

The watch is real because whoever offered it to you jacked the pics from my listing. Who offered it to you????

RUN RUN RUN! Now you know it is most likely a scam. I would not move any further without a really good explanation for this!!!

uh oh. To the OP, do NOT proceed with this transaction.

Or catch him, ask him for pics with his name and the time and date on a piece of paper next to the watch... see what he says/does.

gqllc · 13 October 2011, 06:53 AM

Turn us on to this scammer...what a scumbag....good catch Neil!

ericloso · 13 October 2011, 06:55 AM

Guys that is incredible and I am so pleased I posted the pics on here!!!! He even airbrushed over the small nick just by the 50 mark on the Bezel, no wonder he was reluctant to give me the serial number when I asked....

It was from goldwatchco.com where I saw it...

chiko323 · 13 October 2011, 06:59 AM

Very strange... Ive seen good reviews for them.

Post all his information in the watchout section!!!!

ericloso · 13 October 2011, 07:03 AM

I will e mail him about it now - find out what he says....

316lad · 13 October 2011, 07:03 AM

ALARM - DANGER - AVOID.

I've only been on this forum for a few weeks but believe me OP, these guys are sound and they know what they're talking about.

sleddog · 13 October 2011, 07:05 AM

This thread is now in the moved to the watchout.

MoBe · 13 October 2011, 07:05 AM

That`s why you always ask for the serial number.

Looks fine but IF you have to ASK then you don't know the seller well enough and your not safe. Heck who knows if that is even the watch you will be sent?! Unless you are picking it up in person.

It's cliche almost by now but "BUY THE SELLER".

ericloso · 13 October 2011, 07:15 AM

The first thing I did was ask for the Serial number but all he said was its M, full serial on receipt of wire! I knew it was fishy then!!

Big massive thanks to all on here for the help with this. I e mailed him so will let you know if I get a response but I doubt I will!!! Feel for people who have been done by him in the past....

Mickey® · 13 October 2011, 07:17 AM

How did he find you or know you wanted an LV?

jizeal · 13 October 2011, 07:19 AM

Just thought about this.... He is also a member of this forum otherwise he wouldn't be able to see pictures on this forum without logging in. Wonder what this person's handle is.

ericloso · 13 October 2011, 07:20 AM

I was surfing the net looking for one, was dubious about going private so thought online would be ok - obviously not!!!! I have a couple I am looking at on here now through members on the forum, gonna stick with the community here from now on!

Wow...didn't think about that. Great point....

mboverst · 13 October 2011, 08:00 AM

Wow! I'm contacting the owner of goldwatchco. I did a deal with Dennis as recently as last week and it went smoothly. This is strange...

mrbill2mrbill2 · 13 October 2011, 08:11 AM

That is why you ask for a photo with a time and date you specify with your name on a piece of paper in the background.

That way you know the seller has the watch.

From what I heard, it was Dennis Gold himself who did this. I would say lets sit back and let the OP get the excuse via email before we trigger an alarm in him to start back tracking.

dysondiver · 13 October 2011, 08:17 AM

watching this with interest

Mickey® · 13 October 2011, 08:30 AM

This should be the plot of the new Bond movie! SO suspenseful!!!

RolexWatcher · 13 October 2011, 08:42 AM

Checking in and looking forward to OP.

OP, keep going! Help to catch this scumbag so that others don't fall prey.
