    The TRF thread is quite interesting too.

    I spent hours reading that and have no interest in watch.

    It worth a read for anyone just to know what can happen and in any business.

    To use the parents house on fire with a news picture from 2 months before is going to put him down.

    He had 80k subscribers or something on YT and was very well-known in Australia.. You really wouldn't expect to get scammed when someone has that much to lose.

    That Atchie explodes is priceless....

    Look this is what happens in a mad market. Guys see easy money from the salivating dogs that are watch buyers. Pretend to loose shipments, send fakes etc. I have to say I have taken risks myself, and when buying off a "Youtube personality" you would be forgiven in taking some solace on that, but look this is why the likes of watchfinder charge a permium, you have some comeback.....

    As archie would say....buying a SS Daydona for 24k euro you would need rocks in your head anyway.

    That's a remarkably hideous watch, even before the fake.

    Ha, the gen he links is totally different. Dial is finished differently, seconds subdial is different and way bigger and the date window is in the 3 position. Not to mention "woods" is actually spelt correctly on the gen. Hands are totally different too.

    If it gets listed again then their long standing account could also vanish!

    That is not a bad looking watch, but from a bit of Googling, it is not a clone, really, is it?

    Fairly awful, dial and strap are vomit worthy.
    But!
    In mitigation for the seller, he knows he is selling a ball of shíte and isn't trying to misrepresent it.
    Donedeal is where that stuff can be sold without a ban tho.
