Did Steve Mulholland Steal my DRSD? S/N # 5298200

[dhh]

I have bought and sold numerous watches here - mostly wholesale them to DavidSW or others because I don't like the retail transaction market.

I sent Steve Mulholland my DRSD in January of this year to repair the lume on the dial and he returned it promptly although the superdome crystal he put on was very foggy and needed to be replaced.

I then sent it to him, with all rolex service papers, to sell on consignment which he stated that if he found no seller in 30 days he would return the watch if requested. This was March 6, 2013. The deal was he could keep anything over $15,000.

He stated he had found a buyer who was taking the watch to Rolex New York - Steve a week or so later said the buyer wanted a correct caseback and he was getting one and the deal would be done.

The last email response I received from Steve was April 4, 2013 where he stated he was still waiting on a new caseback. I have received sporadic text messages from Steve about his personal issues but none address the status or location of my watch.

I have demanded the watch or payment multiple times with no response.

Any ideas here for me? I am having my attorney contact the Holiday Florida police and report the watch as stolen in the morning.

Any help or influence that could be brought here would greatly be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

I am sorry to hear about this news. Steve is banned from TRF so I am not sure who has kept in touch with him since. If I remember correctly I may have seen Steve list something for sale on VRF not too long ago. Please keep us updated on your status. I hope this gets resolved quickly.

Btw: he has a Facebook account, and he posted your DRSD for sale there on march 2nd for 17k.

I remember seeing Steve here many, many times when I first joined TRF years ago. I never had any interaction with him, but he seemed like a regular contributor to many posts. So this is a surprise to hear.

Out of sheer nosy-ness and curiosity, why was he banned?

[psv]

He is still allowed and very active over at Vintage Rolex Forum - try to get his attention that way. You may want to start with consulting the moderators because they are very protective of their sellers over there.

I, for one, would never do business with that individual. Some forum research would have discovered that this is a common opinion.

I do hope you get your watch and/or money back. Keep us posted!

[psv]

You are not alone...

I agree Patrick never would I do a deal with him, his response to that bad deal last year was so disappointing. It's sad when a once good seller goes completely bad.

[nsumner]

Wow! Sorry to hear this.

[threemonkeys]

Wow. I remember Steve's last days here were pretty ugly. Yeah, I would be worried.

[Gharddog03]

That's nasty! Sorry to hear.

[perpetualman88]

Steve was banned here. He is not an individual I would ever do business with.

I hope you get your issue resolved. As others have said he is very active on VRF.

best of luck and let us know how it turns out

[Hairdude1]

Sorry to hear man, I hope this gets resolved

[learningtofly]

That's a shocker - good luck in getting matters resolved.

Contrary to a couple of comments above, Steve isn't very active on VRF - in fact, he barely posts there these days.

[tattooedfagin]

Hope you manage to get things sorted, I contacted SM a couple of years back regarding a Red 1680, just getting a response to an email was a headache & certainly didn't install any confidence.

[Vincent65]

good luck indeed...

[Andad]

I'd move fast and HARD on this one if I were you.

Its worse then I thought, if Steve indeed file, then kiss the hopes of getting your money back goodbye OP..... I hope I am wrong..It doesnt look good..

[cruvon]

That bankruptcy report link says was filed in 2009, so guess an old one.

All the best with getting back your money OP, quite a few forumers have been raising red flags about him for quite a while now and took him off the vintage seller list http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=180461 last year after an incident and banning here, hope he resurfaces with your DRSD, keep us updated.

At some point he is going to do this to the wrong person, and yes Puffy the pulp fiction scene will ensue...........

[nauticajoe]

Sorry to hear, Doug. Hope everything works out.

[dhh]

I reported it stolen to the Pasco Country Sheriff today - they will be contacting Steve.

[Noonan]

Wow...I had no idea Steve had been banned. What did I miss? He always seemed like a stand-up guy in years past.

[MonBK]

Sorry to say it but I think the answer is yes.

[Rikki]

I believe the person in the bank rupsy is his dad not him don't quote me on this. Also he was robbed about 3 weeks ago and has a police report on file.

Please tell me he had insurance....please!

[nycpassat]

wow, i hope it turns out okay. Good luck with that.

[Wacker23]

Wow that guy lists something on vrf almost weekly.

[Wolfgang427]

From what I've heard it was his recently married wife that took him to the cleaners.....I hope he can get his stuff and anyone's else stuff that was taken back.
