Holy shi........... I was not expecting that. Congrats, and I hope this is just the beginning of redemption for all involved.

I'm assuming since this was your outcome, your facts were not wrong and he actually has his feet over the flames. Great job on flushing him out!

That´s a beautiful watch, btw.
He’s interested in trading it! He’d likely take a cheap Titus watch on a NATO strap for it 😁

Well done. What a relief and hope for the best for the other victims. Make sure you pop the back off the IWC and see it’s all there before celebrating too much.

Damn so he didn’t turn them right into cash. Or he was able to purchase it back from whomever he stole it from. So all doubt is removed about this guy being a scammer if ever there was doubt. Unless his teddy bear mailed the watch. Glad to see you got your IWC back very nice watch.

FYI - I currently can count 13 specific individuals (based on feedback from multiple forums) that this single person(s) Magnus Sigurdsson and Stefan Birgir Stefansson has scammed. I imagine there's at least 20 victims out there minimum. I would not be surprised if the actual number was closer to 30 or 40

Glad to see the happy ending for you. Hope it works out the same for the others involved.
Looks like you'll be wearing this one for a while

Meanwhile, as I wait, all I feel is anxiety...

I sure hope Robin gets his watch tomorrow, which would potentially mean I "should" receive mine next week and not a box of candles again.
You can never have too many candles though.

Great news.
Maybe he doesn't liquidate any watches, just keeps them as trophies of his scamming prowess.
Maybe the cops will search his house & find a truckload of stolen gear.

If they find my missing argyle Smarwool sock, please let me know.

As all have said- it’s unbelievable, and congrats.
