The [email protected] email has been shut down, on Trustpilot he has changed his business address, it's now in Mumbai India lol.
Insta page has gone and if we can get 4 more negative reviews on the Google page then there'll be more - than + reviews.

Did my part. I have added a negative review on his Google page. 😁
This scumbag must pay!

I'm gonna sound patronizing, sorry, but let's avoid the pitchfork-and-torches-mob behavior and act solely on the information given by the mods and proxyserv, they're the professionals, we should avoid personal crusades.
I guess none of us would like to be called a Scammer and thief before friends and colleagues just because we share the name of a d*#!khead.

Not patronising, just a calm word of sensibility.
Good call.

...so I understand this business model correctly, build fake watch, list as genuine on my business website and youtube channel, meanwhile, list same watch for sale on replica website with all build information and sources of parts and labor, ultimately steal money from someone attempting to buy said watch to help finance my budding business which still displays the exact same watch?

I tried to understand it also

I think he is trying to scam multiple people with this 1 watch

Looks that way, I wonder how many times he’s sold or tried to sell the same watch!

This confirms my thoughts....looks like the original scam was build and pass off as genuine since it's so heavily modified it's unlikely to be spotted as a replica base unless a watchsmith performs a detailed inspection.

Even with the inspection, as long as the movement, hands, crystal and dial base are geniune, you just claim "its a custom made case".

Since I noticed some images were missing from his sale, I thought I'd save everything as a pdf and link the pages as images here for all to see in perpetuity. To save load times and space, I have them as thumbnails linked to full images. So, here is what we have so far...

His webpage at luxeservices. Impressive collection of one watch....





his sale thread on value your watch



original sale thread page one


full res images still remaining in the sale thread



video from his sale thread



and some nice side by sides comparing the piece listed here vs the "genuine" he has been trying to splash around the internet to sell.

from value your time



from his luxe website

Whats going on with the weird sunken date window? Is it the a gen listed on his site?
No, it's the exact same watch. He is trying to pass a build off as a genuine watch that has been iced out. I'm not overly familiar with these processes, but the date window looked close to the tachy also to my eyes as well as somewhat deep. I looked at other examples online and noted the gap was still present in the ones I looked at, also every one I looked at retained the AP logo on the dial vs the floating sticker he has on this one.


a couple of comparison examples I looked at.




Also, of note, he was too willing to swap around movements which leads me to question what movement was really in there.

Depends who you ask - i can guarantee you 95% of "bussdowns" will never contain full genuine parts. Whether it be a fake bracelet, fake hands etc. As long as movement is genuine then it will always be a aftermarket/custom watch.

Also the watch was actually 'sold' on ebay twice about a month prior to listing on here.

Once for around 35k the other time for around 30k.

I have the links but ebay has removed the listing, my guess is buyers never paid
