i,M JUST RESPONDING TO YOUR COMMENT ON GUNNIEJAMES AND "HIS GOLD PATEK"THE TRUTH IS i,ve dealt with this character face to face.He responded to a craigslist
ad for this watch that I was selling for a friend who is an expert inantique prints,silver,gold,and real estate.I,m disabled and 55 years old so my friend gives me items like coins,antique silver ,coins,etc to keep me busy and if i can make an extra dollar
that,s better.I don,t sell on ebay.Anyhow I invited James to my house and the first few deals went along good.I befriended him and had thought of him highly and even invited him to my home for a barbecue on memorial day.I looked at him as a younger brother,that,s how much my family and wife of 25 years thought of him.He initially picked up the watch and I told him it was an early Patek,I,m no expert.He told me through wbay forum that most did not think it was an original.I believed him and he brought it back.I told him from the get go my own coins and other pieces I could sell or trade and if he could get something in return for the watch(he told me he knew nothing about art but said he had a Calder,bronzes,etc.He asked for the watch back and our last deal a month ago he told me he had an african-american painting by the black picasso,an original David lee painting,etc.I unfortunately never exchanged consignment or sales agreements.After numerous calls:he never answers the phone,emails,texts.I,ve been in his car where he always screens calls.Having gone through all this one sided in his favor deals,I INVITED HIM TO THE HOUSE FOR MY BIRTHDAY ON 9/9/12 AND HE ACCEPTED AND WOULD CALL THE DAY BEFORE TO CONFIRM AND BRING BACK THE WATCH OR A VERY COLLECTIBLE BRONZE THAT I COULD SELL PAY MY FRIEND HIS $1500(THAT,S WHAT HE WANTED FOR THE WATCH AND I COULD GET A SUBSTANTIAL PROFIT FROM THE BRONZE FOR ME.HE NEVER CALLED OR SHOWED UP.NO ANSWERS ON EMAIL AND TEXTS.I FINALLY GOT HIM TO ANSWER HIS PHONE ON THE 10TH WHEN I USED *67.IMMEDIATELY I TOLD HIM I WAS DISAPPOINTED THAT HE INSULTED US BY NOT COMING OR AT LEAST CALL TO SAY NO.HE SHOUTED BACK THAT I WAS GETTING OVER ON HIM,WHICH IS NOT TRUE.I,M OUT ABOUT $3500 PLUS MY FRIENDS WATCH.THIS GUY IS A COMPLETE AND DEGENERATE LIAR AND A THIEF.HE,S MAKING MONEY HAND OVER FIST AND NOW HAS PROBABLY SOLD MY FRIENDS WATCH.WHAT I,M SAYING IS I DON,T HAVE ANY RECOURSE I GUESS BUT TO JUST VENT AND LET YOU KNOW AND OTHERS IS WATCH OUT.HE SOLD ME 2 WATCHES A GOLD IWC WHICH STOPPED WORKING AFTER 2 WEEKS,I LOST $500 ON THAT CAUSE I NEEDED $ AND A TISSOT AUTOMATIC WHICH HE SAID WAS 1970 CIRCA THAT RUNS FOR ABOUT 12 HOURS AND STOPS.HE STOLE THIS CHAS.PATEK AND WITH PRAYER I HOPE HE FINDS A CONSCIOUS AND INTEGRITY TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT.NOT EVEN THE COMMON COURTESY TO CALL AND MAN UP TO APOLOGIZE.THANKS FOR LETTING ME SHARE.RESPECTFULLY.ED HANNA
