What you said of course right. But on another hand, take a look at other brig cases here, most of them also said something more or less like that. I refund you, I will send the watch, I was in the hospital but is back to normal now blah blah, and they do stay here long enough for us to read their scams for a reason: they do whatever except refund/send watches. I won't put a high hope on this piece of shit if I were you.
Read what he replied and do a simple profiling for him, he is a guy who kills for luxury things that he can't have, so much obsession he even fakes his life after getting caught being a scammer. Do you think he still has money to pay back the victims? I doubt very much.
