·I previously posted a warning about Kostas (of Fullywound infamy).
Just to start off, I want to sincerely apologise to some long time members (in particular @JwRosenthal, @simonsays, @ConElPueblo) - I was full of rage for being conned by Kostas and in hindsight I should have read the room better and perhaps I should have taken a day or two to respond). Your comments were valid and I should have responded better.
Since my previous post I filed a report at Kent Police and they did respond saying that it was a civil/contract issue and better pursued via the small courts. I later discovered that there was another report that was filed against Kostas for a similar offence.
I have engaged with a solicitor who has filed a bankruptcy petition against Kostas. Since filing the petition we have discovered that Kostas does not own any significant assets (he is renting in Folkestone). I am busy considering the advantages/disadvantages of possibly taking the matter to the small claims court, but it looks a less likely option to chase a debt he is unlikely to repay with good money.
So please be aware of any possible dealings with Kostas and people like him because they know the system and have less to lose than you.
Do your due diligence on watch dealers or people you are buying watches from, the internet is a great tool to search forums, profiles, reviews, etc.
