Update: I finally got my watch back and I have sent the canal st crap back to him.
It was after all the complaints on RWI and getting him banned here.
It was a PITA. I hope he learned the lesson and check the stuff before he sells anything.

A few weeks ago, I posted a FS/FT thread here and I received an offer from this guy. He offered me a River's ETA GMT Rolex for my ETA Omega aqua terra that I bought from King for $190.
In his PM, he assured me that, quote:
"The watch has a swiss ETA movement. It was bought from River for quite a bit of money as reps go."
"By the way You will make out in this deal"
"The movement is ETA 2836-2"
Unfortunately, I found a few problems when I received the watch. First, the GMT hand is not working. Second, the crystal is not sapphire crystal as I found a scratch on it. Third, I found the movement is not as smooth as my other eta watch.
I pmed 12.5 a few times and he is not very helpful. Basically he is telling me that it is an eta watch and the crystal is "supposed" to be sapphire crystal. Well, I trusted him and believed that it is an ETA as he said the watch is from River, so it wasn't such a big deal as I am giving it away.
However, after I saw Base thread

I started to doubt this guy's integrity. RBJ offered to open the case for me and check it for me for free. As I actually have the tools, so I did it myself.

The result was negative. I received a "Canal St. $30 crap" I complained to 12.5 and he said he got the watch from (name removed, he is a reputable member @RWG anyway.) I also got River's confirmation that this is not his watch. I requested a money back or my watch back. Unfortunately, this guy traded my watch already. Whatsoever...
So, I ve been scammed. I gave 12.5/1 a week to solve the issue before postive a negative review. I think this is reasaonble. The solution is simple, either money back or watch back. After a few days or ignoring my email, he finally replied my PM today (deadline):
"That GMT function worked like the gen. It worked when I sent it I think you may have damaged it when you started messing with the watch...I am not paying you $200."
So, this guy is telling me that "There is nothing that I can do" again.
I think we are not going to have a solution as he intended to scam me from the beginning. Also, according to what base said, 12.5/1 apologized to him and told him that the sunglass is genuine. Well, but 12.5/1 didn't offer him a damn thing for compensation.
Lastly, I have tried to calm myself down and work with the seller to find a soluction. I have given him enough time and I don't think anything he is going to do. This guy won't even pay me a dime.
