georgegrasser Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 This guy has sold four watches so far. One has come up on the boards as a possible IWC rep. Folks have thanked him so far on two MontBlanc and one IWC. Sorry I can't cut and paste. The Planet Ocean is Ebay Auction 280136757097 by Popastuey I can't tell for sure.

georgegrasser Posted July 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 FAKE! So then all the people on his previous watch sales got taken then. That is truly sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitmic Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 So then all the people on his previous watch sales got taken then. That is truly sad. I didn't take a look at his other auctions. But the PO is fake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuDro Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 He's even stupid enough to show a pic of the lugs with the standard rep serial no. 816880298: Reported. AGREED! This jerky needs to be stopped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azerbyjam Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 I sent a message to this guy to tell him he'd been rumbled, he replied saying that he didn't know it was a fake but he was going to pull the auction to check it out. Just checked and it's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgegrasser Posted July 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 AGREED! This jerky needs to be stopped! He left his IWC up. Is it possible to own a rep for sale and not know it? The guy sells handbags too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amplitude Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 He left his IWC up. Is it possible to own a rep for sale and not know it? The guy sells handbags too. Yeah, it's possible- look at his happy customers that now own reps without knowing. But since he's been pretty careful about selling the cream of the crop reps, very hard to tell if you aren't an crazy watch idiot like us, I'd say he's doing it on purpose because the likelyhoods of him being caught out is nil unless the bamboozled take their new watches into an AD to get verified. And some of them won't care, since they are so good, and they probably have no idea how low the actual price is on them. 8 years ago, if I paid 1000 for a near perfect rep of a 5000 us watch, I'd have been damn happy. Poor folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor folks. I contacted and got a reply from one of his customers on the Montblanc. Had it serviced at MB and it checked out as genuine. The buyer seemed real, and thanked me for my concern.

fitmic Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 So it might be possible, the gur didn't know the PO was a rep? Perhaps he was then one being scammed in the first place... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
