Hi Nik, if you are reading this, please update me. I have been trying to contact you via email and reddit but have received no answer. They only email I got from you was the 25th of October saying that it has been a couple of busy months and apologizing. That you will put me on top. Since then, I have trying to contact you 5 different times with no luck.

I understand that you are super busy, but please after spending quite a bit of money with you on my Explorer II, I would like to have my watch back functioning. I sent it back to you since it was not working after I received it on May 24th 2024. You told me that the tube needed to be changed.

Please give me an update.

Sadly, many it seems have the same situation as you. He's had the "Do Not Trade With Me" label added to his name. Staff has been in communication with him to clean this mess up quickly.

Hello there, i have sent my watch to @Nikz19 in the begining of December. I filled out the form on his website and got an answer with what to do and sent it out to him. He said it will take up to 15 days after receiving to finish it. Since that e-mail i got no response and only last week i've seen that he's got a do not trade label. I would be grateful for his whatsapp contact since i got no response on email or facebook.

Hi guys,

I'm in the same boat. I sent my watch to Nik in September 2024. At first he didn't reply to my mails, asking if the watch arrived at his place. I contacted him via PM here on the forum. He also told me his WhatsApp - I contacted him there and he replied until midst/end of January. I already paid my order and the service. I haven't heard back from him in almost a months. The mods also are trying to sort it out for me - but I have a very bad feeling. Hope we will get our stuff and money back. It's a real shame - I don't mind waiting but as a paying customer getting information is the least he can do.

He wrote me on the 6th feb that it's done, paid him as soon as he sent me his PP (7th feb) and since then i'm waiting for the watch to be shipped. He still was lying that he ships out on fridays and that it's my fault that i did not r3ad that in his mail, but nowhere in his mails have i found that he ships only on fridays. I dont know how such people exist or do business. If You don't care about your work don't do it. Thankfully i got his address and a work trip to Milano next week.

While you're at it, pls fetch my batgirl 😅

I also took the time to give him a bad review on Google. Maybe it has a small impact.

He contacted me now, telling me he was in hospital. I said I will delete the review once I receive my watch or my money. Will keep you updated.

He hasn't logged in over a month, has given different excuses to different people, including staff, and has repeatedly ignored staff requests to return watches.

I suggest that those of you waiting for your property to be returned organise yourselves collectively and contact a lawyer in Italy to bring a civil case against him.
Franken watches made up of genuine and aftermarket parts do not contravene any counterfeit goods laws in the EU.
Even the watches that have been returned (after much effort from staff) are frequently not in working order, so even if you do get your property back it won't be what you expect.

Such a shame, but I guess there's no other way. Thanks anyways for the effort.
