Posted up just over a week ago in the WTB thread that I was after Baltic Aquascaphe. Ensuring I was following the advice of the Reddit group, the seller posted a comment below my comment. We then communicated over DM where he provided me a detailed description and plenty of photographs of the watch including referencing the date and his user handle. I checked the profile and there were lots of comments and threads going back over six years so looked to be legitimate. We agreed the price and I paid him via PayPal, using friends and family – which I now recognise was a mistake, but I’ve never had an issue on previous transactions. Seller confirmed receipt and told me he was going to arrange for the item to be posted via DHL and forward me the tracking information, but continually got excuses before now getting to the point where there’s been no communication in over 24 hours and all of the previous posts and comments under his username have been deleted from Reddit. What gets me is it’s clear that he was a watch guy and that he was in possession of the watch but it now appears that he has taken my money and run. Bitterly disappointed, and especially frustrated at myself in this transaction.
