I told him that there are many people who are looking for him on rwi and who want the money.
He says he will return the money to everyone.
I told him that if he had an economic problem it is better to say it immediately and maybe say "guys I have problems I can't return the money, I'll organize myself give me some time"
Instead of acting like this
I had to fight for 200 €. I know it's a few euros but it's his behavior that made me angry
Call him at all hours on his personal number, stress him out, threaten legal action.

In any way this action is not correct from him. It´s his own problem if he runs out of money and not the problem of the people who send him watches for repair. If he is in struggle it would be correct to not accept any watches and let the people left in this situiation.

I know 3 People where he acted exact the same , he gets loud and uses hard words to show how cool he is. If he would act with kindness and don´t play like he is King Kong with a fake BMW M8 it would be another Situation, maybe not so explosive.

I remember a sentence from him where he told a friend of mine that he as Nikz19 plays in a Gen World and that this reps are worth nothing for him.

If you use those words to downgrade your customer for your own fault only because the guy claims something logical like a watch that has problems after his service with his guarantee, no this guy will stay a piece of Shit for me.

Scam people with wrong Crystals and so much more not done work on watches he charged a lot of money for is undisputable an EVIL INTENTION from him.

In South Italy this kind of scamming litle Guy would not have been able to pull off such actions with fraud this for sure !


!!!!! SO THIS ASSHOLE DESERVES NO MERCY IN ANY FORM !!!!!

We're way past the possibility of him playing the pity card. He already tried that and most probably lied, for months. You cannot believe a single word coming from his mouth. 200€, it was easy for him to appease you, there's at least one single member that lost >40k worth of property. Only one. Think of all the people who got scammed here.

In ogni caso, questa azione non è corretta da parte sua. È un suo problema se finisce i soldi, non un problema di chi gli manda gli orologi in riparazione. Se è in difficoltà, sarebbe corretto non accettare orologi e lasciare che chi si trova in questa situazione se ne occupi.

Conosco tre persone che si sono comportate esattamente nello stesso modo: si fa sentire e usa parole dure per dimostrare quanto è figo. Se si comportasse con gentilezza e non giocasse come King Kong con una BMW M8 finta, la situazione sarebbe diversa, forse non così esplosiva.

Ricordo una frase di lui in cui diceva a un mio amico che lui, come Nikz19, gioca in un Gen World e che queste ripetizioni non valgono nulla per lui.

Se usi queste parole per declassare un cliente solo per colpa tua perché il tizio sostiene qualcosa di logico, come un orologio che ha avuto problemi dopo la manutenzione in garanzia, no, per me questo tizio rimarrà un pezzo di merda.

Truffare la gente con cristalli sbagliati e altri lavori non eseguiti su orologi per i quali ha chiesto un sacco di soldi è indiscutibilmente una sua INTENZIONE MALVAGIA.

Nel Sud Italia un ragazzino di questo tipo non sarebbe mai riuscito a mettere a segno simili azioni con una frode di questo tipo!


!!!!! QUINDI QUESTO STRONZO NON MERITA ALCUNA PIETÀ IN NESSUNA FORMA!!!!!
👏👏👏👏.
Amico, il tuo discorso è giustissimo. Nessuna pietà o giustificazione.
Gli ho appena detto di pagare le persone su questo forum senza contare Reddit...
È arrogante e vuole la ragione. Me li ha restituiti solo perché ha visto le azioni legali. Anche se ti dico che non si è preoccupato molto.
Quando è alla BMW falsa è ridicolo. Ricordo di averlo chiamato diversi anni fa e mi disse che l'avrebbe comprata.
Ero impressionato e ammirato perché m8 è bello e potente. Poi oggi ho scoperto che è falso e che l'ha comprato con i nostri soldi.
Molto male

It's truly disheartening to read the official post regarding NikZ's brigging, especially considering his reputation as one of the few go-to watchmakers and modders in our community. To see someone who was once held in such high regard end up in this situation, behaving in such a deceitful manner, is profoundly sad.

I, too, had previously considered him for a service on one of my pieces. While I never went through with it, my initial experience was quite telling. The quote I received was indeed on the higher side, and the response time was incredibly slow, often taking days, if not longer, to get a simple reply. There was also, as the initial post mentioned, a certain aloofness or arrogance even at the inquiry stage. In hindsight, I'm immensely grateful that I decided to look elsewhere.

Reading about the 'SOVED' pattern – the isolated complaints, the ghosting, the excuses ranging from sick relatives to personal hospitalizations – it's chillingly familiar. The "label created" tracking numbers and the outright denial of receiving property are particularly infuriating and speak volumes about the level of deception involved. To think that we're talking about "5-digit amounts" of members' property and services owed is just gut-wrenching.

My heart truly goes out to everyone who has been impacted by this. It's not just about the money or the watches, but the trust that's been broken and the frustration of dealing with continuous lies and evasion. The RWI's decision to brig him and issue the "DO NOT TRADE WITH ME" badge from December 19th is, unfortunately, a necessary one. Their advice for legal action is, sadly, the only realistic path forward for those affected post-December 19th.

For those members who are geographically close to NikZ in Italy, and who have lost their property, I can only echo the sentiment of the initial brigging post: perhaps a "friendly visit" is in order. Sometimes, direct interaction can yield results when all other avenues have failed.

It's a truly sad day for the community when someone perceived as a pillar turns out to be anything but. I sincerely hope that those who have been wronged find some form of recourse.

I subscribe to everything you said except this.
RWI does not endorse or condone any act suggested by the euphemistic term "friendly visit". We suggested legal action. For the record.

You are absolutely right, and I appreciate you setting the record straight. I definitely don't want to condone or suggest any violent behaviors whatsoever.

My thought process for the "friendly visit" was perhaps ill-phrased, but it stemmed from the fact that he does have a physical shop.

Regarding legal actions, suing is certainly the proper and official route. However, cross-border legal cases are incredibly challenging and often not a realistic recourse for many, especially when you factor in the complexities of dealing with replica watches. It's a sad reality that NikZ is likely well aware of these limitations.

My apologies if my previous comment inadvertently went against community guidelines. The frustration felt by victims must be immense, but the community's integrity and safety must always come first.

Of course nobody condones this, for the record.

I speak for me though when I say if you have the means, go get your money by any means necessary. As we've seen, nobody here is gonna get it for you, and nobody will run to the gendarmerie.

Beyond that, it's all just words on a screen and rats in cages. And pardon me if my grumpy old man is showing.
