That's is awesome Raj. U just saved someone from getting scammed. That poor kid was scared sh!tless. Lol. I wonder where he got it?? How was the quality as a rep though??

Wasn't horrible, but wasn't great either. Pearl was total crap. Crown guards were confusing since they belonged on a ceramic sub. It had a DWO and the date window was in a good position. Cyclops magnification was too low. LEC was very visible. Engravings didn't line up. Dial was very purple. Crown didn't unscrew very smoothly. Rotation was of course wrong. SEL fit was actually decent though.

I think it was probably a $200 rep. Came with a box too. Totally forgot about it. I still have it in my back seat. lol.

Thanks for teaching this kid a valuable lesson. He actually seemed like a decent kid but looks can be deceiving.

I'm very impressed! Kid must have been higher than a kite at first but as the conversation went on, fear started showing through the green haze. I would not call him "poor kid", stoopid at best. Lesson learned, I think that would be a valuable lesson for that kid how not to scam people. Well done Raj, well done9.

excellent work raji. glad I could help. that is the best post I've seen on this site. Just awesome. Can't imagine how many of these guys are out there. and what's worse how many people buy these watches and lose thousands of dollars. Great job Raj.

FYI I bought the scammer a coffee afterwards. He's also learning to drywall and I own a construction business, so I offered to set him up with a job with my drywaller if he needed a legit job.

I am way too Canadian.

That's really awesome! I'm a small business owner myself and some of my best employees have been guys that needed a 2nd chance, prison, drugs. Hopefully this kid will take you up on your offer.
