Either I'm going blind, or this ad has two different watches pictured - 16613 front and 116613 back.

He's local, so I've already emailed him for a meetup. I'll know what it is instantly in person. Looking for ideas on how to mess with this guy if it turns out to be a fake. Not looking to do anything drastic or illegal/violent, but not too afraid of any tough situations either. ;)

EDIT:
Seller emailed back and wanted to meet and sell for $3000. Video posted here:

Tell him you are from the watch police. Make up a good name like international watch fraud inspection agency. Tell him you guys surf the net to find scammers. Watch his face turn white. Then offer him 50 bucks for the watch

I buy off Craigslist all the time. I try to meet in a public place. In the case of a high end watch like this - its best to meet at a Jeweler who can verify its authenticity. It you see it and think its fake-then tell him if you are going to pass

Faker selling a Sub.......

Did you notice that you can not increase the size of the watch box...........that's a perfect tell........the watchbox......... the fuzzy furry covering is much courser in the Rep boxes.........that's why you cant make it any bigger.........Plus of course the rear end is not the front end !! :raji: :goat:

How about a Authorized Rolex Replica "head hunter"? Rolex rep sellers punisher scare tactics?

Or you could offer him fair exchange:

Same background in both pictures. That's really weird. Pretty good deal if it's legit.

Sadly, he messaged me back saying it's sold already. Some sucker is already out $4K. Ah well.

I never had any doubt that the watches in the pics were legit. I just thought the pics showed 2 different watches. There was a non-ceramic front shot and a ceramic rear shot.

I think he down or up loaded all the pics from the E bay seller,,,,,And got the pics mixed up?? It's un telling how many other scams he's running with the stolen pics from E bay???

I'll keep his user profile bookmarked and check on it once in awhile. The only other item he's selling are some Dre Beats headphones. Probably fake as well.

Ok, I was wrong. It was another guy replying to me on another ad telling me the item was gone (not watch related).

This guy finally replied to me and was very excited about my email. I offered $3000, and he jumped at the chance. Yikes. I met up with him publicly at a Tim Hortons (coffee chain in Canada) and tried to videotape the whole thing. I apologize for my horribly bad video skills.

I won't bother describing anything here. I'll let you watch the vids.
