His vids are rubish. He too, apparently.

Hope OP gets his watch soon.

If shipping is indeed the only issue, then perhaps there's an OF member in that neck of the woods who'd be able pick up the watch and ship to OP? I'd trust a member of the OF community far and above this guy.

This. Anyone in the EU should be able to act as a relay station. I will be happy to do so.

This is the watch on the day I posted it complete with all the provenace.
Very nice watch. I will never look at that guy’s video, but would love to read your story about the watch and how you got it. I am not sure if you’ve already posted a thread about it, if not, now is as good a time as ever. With a bit of good fortune you will be reunited soon and this horrible experience will be a footnote in the story of your beautiful watch.

Sure. Here it is

He sure likes to act tough in messages. Guess that's his way of showing he isn't afraid of some (perceived) bully. Dude comes off more dramatic than William Shatner's entire career. Also, relevant:

That Youtuber guy seems like a jolly little leech. Yuck.

@OP your mistake appears to have been a misjudgment in character, which is not your fault. I hope the situation is resolved soon.

Looks like I'm not the only one, I contacted another guy that lent him some very nice watches....and have just got this reply back. I had sent him the link to this thread, so he has read most of the posts on here.....

I just asked him to contact me as I'm having an issue with Oisin O'Malley from The Timeless Watch Channel after lending him a watch.. I did not say what this issue was....... this is his repley
Hi Ade,
Let me guess, he wouldn't return the watch you lent him?

Wow I read the correspondence between you and him, it is exactly same as what he has been saying to me for over a year
Always "next week next week", always "have to go to a different city to ship" etc etc but he never does.
I sent him 4 watches in Jan 2021... He has never returned those.

Why don’t you tell him you will contact the authorities or shame him on social media?

Thanks OP. Can you request that this person share their experience in this thread so we have all the facts and avoid a full blown witch hunt?

This is very concerning though.

It’s 4am here and I’m needing sleep but I’d like to remind people that there is an expectation that you respect laws and the terms of service of this site and of others and don’t do anything regrettable that gets you in trouble. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

OP I hope he does follow through and send you your property back in a timely fashion at this point.

If this is a pattern it sounds like a matter for the police and the authorities. We live in societies where “ threats” to “shame on social media” is not a proper method for punishing crime. However if there are other people who have suffered similar problems, surely society might benefit good faith information sharing which may help protect other potential victims,
And help identify other victims.

Reminds me of that other story where the youtuber/seller kept on making up excuses to delay more and more. I guess this may be a common strategy.

I need advice please....
We don't know what that guy is going through although he is not covering himself on glory with some comments he's made. Just ask him to return your watch this week and ask him how quickly he can do that. If he needs you to book the DHL (other couriers are available) service, then do that for him. This might cost you some money but at least it would move this forward.

If he still won't send the watch back, then there are surely members here from Italy who could help with contacting the authorities. I would ask for a "proof of life" photo with the watch set at 8:27, for example.

Good luck, Chris

I messaged him on IG asking when he was planning on returning the watch. The response I got was "Who are you and why are you bothering me?"

Seems like a scumbag to me. Never watched his videos before and now I definitely not planning to ever.
What is he IG account ?
thanks
