Paneral153, I guess such difficulties can occur even after a personal meeting! We were introduced to Mike through a mutual (and trustworthy) long-time acquaintance. He came to our home to buy a car, and a discussion about watches cropped up. He seemed talented and personable, and since he was "known" (well, sort of), we gave him an Omega Seamaster to repair, with promise he would get right to it. This was Fall of 2011! Some months later my husband inquired about the watch repair status, and Mike began a series of excuses. We were patient, giving him time when he asked for it. Finally, my husband implored him to return the watch - whether it was repaired or not - because it has sentimental value. Mike insisted to us that he still had the watch, at one point emailing a photo of the watch to prove this. My husband has tried multiple times to get the watch back. We've been more than understanding in this case. I hate thinking that someone is this unreliable, and I would love to get the watch back for my husband... even if not repaired. Is there any way you -- or someone who actually knows Mike --can help us in this? We just want our watch back.

We handed an expensive watch to Mike McNair for repair. Normally we wouldn't trust an "unknown person" but he was personally referenced to us by an associate, an individual we trusted. You probably know where this is going. The watch was never repaired, and he has stopped responding to any of our inquiries, even those that simply said "send the watch back unrepaired, and we'll deal with it." We have threatened legal action, numerous times, and no response has been received. What are other people doing to get their property back? We're a "reasonably long" but not impossible drive away from where he supposedly lived. Input appreciated.
