Hi everyone. I'm sending this warning to let everyone know of the scam that this guy just tried to pull on me. He emailed saying he had a watch he thought I would be interested in. I was already suspicious but played along. He sent me a description and a few pictures of a nice waffle dial constellation. The only thing wrong was that it was a description and photos from an ad that I posted over the summer! He was trying to sell me my watch! Do not respond to any emails from this guy!

 

was he giving you a good deal on the watch?

 

No, responding to WTB posts with a generic cut & paste sentence saying he has what you're looking for. He sent me an e-mail too and I told him to get lost and that he had been sniffed out.

 

much like emails responses we get from Craigslist ads... "do you still have the item available?" is the typical hook these morons throw at you.

 

I had a slightly different approach, he wanted to sell me something now that novel.

 

I received an email and PM from a Scott O Moses regarding a Wanted To Buy post I made here
I emailed him back and he never replied
After reading this post I'm glad he never did

 

Just received a similar email in response to my quest for a Tutima FX. I am so glad I did a little research and stumbled on this thread. Thanks guys.​

​

As you can see I am a newbie to this forum but have been collecting for some 30 years. Great community of folks in the watch world. Thanks for the heads up.​

Up for sale is my TUTIMA FX Automatic Day/Date MINT with 2 Straps.
Tutima FX Automatic Watch in MINT condition.
This watch is only six months old and is in mint condition. Both front
and rear sapphire crystal is scratch and blemish free. You would have
to look very closely and carefully to see any wear.

It comes with the original black leather band and also a sporty carbon
fiber style band which has been worn only a few days and looks new.
The original leather band shows normal wear.

It has quick set day and date function and a bi-rotational 60 minute
countdown bezel. The back is a sapphire crystal exhibition screw down
case.

The bright spots that show on the pictures are from the camera flash,
they are not blemishes. Sapphire domed crystal with anti reflective
coating is very difficult to photograph.

I'm asking for £350 for it including shipping to you. Whats your
complete shipping address? I can ship via UPS or FedEx whichever you

Thanks,

Scott.
