Hey so I made this account strictly to spread the word about this scammer. The only thread / forum where I could find people discussing his credibility. I reached out for a watch, he demanded I send him money through a direct money wire to his bank account in Thailand. I asked for him to go through a legitimate site such as chrono24, hodinkee, eBay, or even just use PayPal but he said no because he only deals with clients who trust him. I asked him to prove he was trust worthy and he sent me back that he was part of a Facebook group for grand seikos, and he had done some podcasts lately. That was it he had no testimonials and wasn't willing to do a secure transaction. This should have been the ultimate red flag for me. Also his Instagram account was taken down for breaking the community guidelines on business integrity. Please help spread the word about this scammer. I am trying my best to save others but there aren't many places to reach out to.
So let me get this straight: you did not complete any deal with him because he wouldn't bend to your demands to do what you consider to be a secure transaction. Is that correct? And yet, you feel entitled to brand him as a "fraud" and a "scammer" without giving him the benefit of the doubt?
Unless I have misunderstood your post, I believe you are seriously out of line. Any seller is free to choose the rules under which he is willing to complete a transaction. Given these constraints, any buyer is free to abide by these terms or give up on the deal. Just because he declined to agree to your own terms doesn't necessarily make him malevolent or untrustworthy. And it certainly shouldn't expose him to libel from someone like you.
Feel free to correct my perception if it is false or incomplete, but I am genuinely shocked at your inquisition-like haste to demolish one man's reputation simply based on your perception of what should be acceptable or not.
This seems worthy of watching unfold.
No you're completely wrong. I sent him over 2000 after he wouldn't budge and haven't received any response or watch in 2 weeks. You sound like you could be him the way your defensive about it. Like I said I'm spreading awareness for others to not fall for it. Nothing else to it.

Fraudster and scammer do not send money or trust this man. I recently got scammed the hard way.
I wonder if the moderators will not intervene here. Here comes a completely unknown guy around the corner and accuses a long-time respected collector of fraud without even bringing a single piece of evidence. This is damaging to the reputation and should be dealt with immediately.
To be honest, I am quite shocked that something like this is possible here.
