Stolen watch: omega seamaster 166.024

And here is something I found while reading Secursus' Terms and Conditions - If I am understanding this correctly, I would say that this includes watch Forum Market Places, such as the ΩF market place.

Caveat emptor always, my friends.

6.2. THE PARCEL INSURANCE DOES NOT COVER:
...

• ITEMS SHIPPED THAT ARE SOLD/PURCHASED ON AN ONLINE MARKETPLACE BY INDIVIDUALS. ONLY OFFICIAL BUSINESSES WILL BE COVERED UNLESS APPROVED IN WRITING.

I reviewed their terms and conditions long ago and concluded that it would be very difficult to make a successful claim in the event of a loss. I'm much more comfortable insuring my shipments through the USPS. It's more expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Exactly right, if your parcel goes missing with the USPS you'll eventually get compensated. The service might be a little slow, tracking data is often slow and out of date, but the parcel will find its way to the proper place. If it goes missing, you'll get your dough. With other insurers, I'm not so sure, insurers have a knack of always finding a reason why you aren't really covered.

I've been thinking a lot about theft lately and it only now dawned on me that I should've kept my own identity completely shielded from watches

I think if you can easily search the shipper or the receiver on Instagram and see they deal in luxury stuff, it's an easy invitation for fishiness, and in Europe I don't think there is delivery chain responsibility, so it feels like anyone can just take anything 🙁

Wow how did I not know this (money wasted). I feel like this should be made sticky too.

I was in communication with Securcus recently after reviewing their conditions... There is a grey area, they would not cover private sales over a watch advertised on Facebook Marketplace - even though the financial exchange is outside Facebook but they confirmed they are happy to cover private trades on Chrono24. Now how they would know in an individual scenario I don't know. I think the point is check first before you waste a premium.
