Anyone that had a good experience with NicolasA?
I wired him money 3 weeks ago.
Watch still hasn't been shipped.
I don't understand anything about his story.
Maybe I am worried for nothing, just wanted to check.

Still nothing.
I think after almost a month I think I have reason to get worried.

NicolasA is not answering my messages anymore.
So I am starting to think I lost a lot of money.
Can anyone give me some info on how to handle this.
Nobody that has done business with him?
Thanks for the help.

I've dealt with him recently and know many who have. Did he offer you a refund?

Yes, he offered a refund on Saturday Oktober 21.
But no news from him since.
And the whole story is going on for a month now.

What’s up ?
Bought a watch from NicolasA a month ago. Still no watch.
Haven't heard from him for a week.
Not the kind of behavior you expect from a regular OF seller.
The guy has my money but doesn't find it necessary to answer my emails.
If you have any idea where he is or what is going on, please let me know.
Best,

Ok I will give him another month or two.
He got my money only one month ago. It's not very gentleman like to put people under too much pressure.

I have never met him. But i think this seller is based in miami. If he has a store or something. Ill be more than happy to ask him face to face for you or help in any way.

Hi Greg,
Thanks for the offer.
Let's wait and see. I have just got news from NicholasA.
He told me he just refunded my money.
So let's hope this horror story will come to an end soon.
Best,

Hi guys,
A little update on the story.
NicolasA told me he refunded my money on November first.
Still no sign of any money on my account.
The whole story started Oktober first when I wired him money for his Rolex 1675.
Since then no watch, no refund.
Patience is very important when dealing with NicolasA.
But I must say the guy is always very kind when I get a message from him.
I would to I guess when getting a lot of money for doing nothing.
Life can be easy sometimes for some guys.
Best,
B

Could it be the funds are being held up by your bank and haven't yet been posted to your account?
Hope this works out for you.

At this point I think anything is possible.
Even that the guy is drinking mojito's in Havana with my money. 😀

Ok guys,
Maybe this is my last post on this matter.
Checked my account again. No money from NicolasA.
So to be honest, I have no problem anymore with calling the guy a scammer.
Maybe he has been scammed himself, I don't know. But that doesn't explain why again he is not responding to my mails anymore.
The guy took 8k from me and to be honest it's a hard hit. I cancelled my summer vacation that I planned for next year.
It's also a good lesson. I assumed that every regular seller here could be trusted but it seems I was wrong.
Maybe I have been very naive, I don't know.
Anyway be careful when buying a watch. Even PayPal is not 100% save.
Enjoy the weekend guys and thanks for all the support.
Best regards,
Bernard
