Nice story Tim. I heard about an very similar thing on a Facebook watch forum and unfortunately the guy fell for it and lost his watch to a fraud and in return got garbage watch. Tragic.
I recently got caught up in a Bait and Switch scam from China. Thankfully it wasn't for a lot of money and Visa will more than likely cover me. When it comes to my watches I'm extra careful. Even when meeting someone face to face. Excellent video Tim. I'm glad you managed to hang on to that beautiful piece.
This is why I simply change my tune on buying a watch. I now always buy it with the 100% certainty that I will always love it and always keep it. Never saw so many sheisters ever as in dealing with high-end items such as watches.
Agreed and I am also a Rolex owner. Never dealt with so many bizarre people as when I started collecting watches. Not sure why that is, but it turned me from most forums and trading posts.
Tim, there is some mistake on your idea over the nationality of the caller, for example, I am Portuguese (never had made a fraud action in my life) but I live in the Netherlands so...if you would talk to me about a watch you wouldn't trust me because of my accent? Damn.... not fair
Nao, porque entendo Portuguese mas nao posso escrever essa lingua muito bem por causa do subjuntivo. 5 subjuntivos, mesmo para o futuro! Isso e "not fair" ;-)

He's not the brightest light on our beautiful planet. 😅🤣😂😂😂 Good one!!! 😂😂😂
List both watches on ebay when there are £1 fees, buy each others at the same price, simple, works a treat!
Does that work?
Kahveh Kavhhveh Why not? Always for me...
Great idea! Thanks for that.....
Wow Dude, thank you for this great idea!

Only swap person to person is my thinking. Hands on inspection.

Your video seemed very funny to me. I know it’s serious content but I laughed a lot. Don’t know why🤔😂. But thank you.
Thank you for watching! One of my oldest videos and I'm glad that people find it still usefull.
Best way to swap especially luxury watches, meet at a local jeweler and they can verify authenticity and less of chance of being robbed
We are most vulnerable when we get greedy.
Hello. I am the prince of Nigeria. Please send Rolex.
I'm surprised he didn't offer to throw in beach front property on Mars! What a deal!

Great advice! :) I wouldn't have believed this advice if you were a stranger! :D
I like your videos, thank for creating the content
Rolex is synonymous with scams, not prestige. Sad. I'm a Rolex owner too.
