From a legal standpoint, he is technically holding your stolen property and you could demand him to return it to you, but from his point of view, he doesn't want to go that way as he would want to return it to the seller he bought it from, so that he can get a refund.
Theoretically if you wanted the goods from the german seller, you would have to provide evidence to the German Authorities that these stolen goods are in fact yours. There is no locking the stuff up in evidence or anything, they will be directly return to you. That would however be a very lengthy and complicated process and before that will has happened, the German seller will have already returned the goods to the spanish seller.
What you now must do is contact the police in Spain and tell them the dealer in Spain is now holding your stolen property and you want to have that returned to you. You provide police with evidence that the items belong to you and they will inform the seller to return them to you.
Nothing more will come from the case. Police is useless and their time is better spent writing parking tickets and checking if someone has all their reflectors on their bicycles than solving real crimes.

Okay, let's clarify something wrong here
According to German law, until the investigation is finished and the case closed in court, you usually will not get the watches back until then.
They are considered evidence and as such will not be returned until a verdict was spoken.

He is doing this "authenticity check" on his own and gives you a nice self made "document", that is completely worthless ...

I'm from Barcelona. Would it be possible to know which vendor is that please? I have bought watches from local sellers and I'd like to avoid it like the plague. If messaging this info in public goes against any rules feel free to send me a private message.
This story… SUBSCRIBE!!
You are so close… for at least a couple watches! I have no advice to give as it is entirely out of my field. But maybe all this info would help the police in Spain where you filed work with police on Germany to go after all these guys??
I mean really.. what reputable watch dealer buys replica watches from some individual? They would certainly have an individual who is able to certify it before they pay, no?! Feels like they’re all crooked!

Wow! What a thriller! I really hope, the watches will find their ways back to you and your nasty neighbors get what they deserve (if they are guilty of course).
I also think it’s worth to point out that the community sticks really well together and is helpful! I like this sign a lot! Especially if you think of the latest fraud in the sales section.
UPDATE:
The german seller seems to be cooperating with the Spanish police, and he has agreed to return the watches to the Spanish police. He seems to be a straight shooter.
And so now it really does look like the watches will be returned to me.
Police are still investigating the Spanish watch dealer who sold the German dealer the watches originally.
More to come.

This story is nuts!!! I had no idea fakes could make it onto chrono24! I had no idea you’d ever see your watches again!!!
I’m also humbled at how amazing this forum has been in offering their support!

great!
I really hope you get the watches back.
however this story with replica watches being sold on C24 it’s scary for the normal buyer and not a good light for dealers who are not doing their checking
Y'know what, i see these "watch fairs" which look like a Bazaar or something - with kinda dubious looking fellas handling 300k watches like a box of chicken nuggets.
I always thought that's all kinda fishy, if you ask me.

Yes, absolutely incredible! I have received so much great help and advice from so many outstanding people here. It's been a huge source of support.
Same here, watched the shows and always wonder on hundreds of watches has to be some of them wrong, the story here just highlighted this.
Ok, sorry for off topic
