Things like that sure make one think these days. I know I taken a buyer to my AD and thankfully all went well, but sure make you think!

It's scary as a seller or buyer.
One can be setup and robbed of cash for purchase intent or of the rolex for sale intent

Or robbed after transaction is done after.

I only buy from local known contacts, and a few used watch stores....I sold a few omega's via craigslist- that ends now, though I am not selling any of my watches anyway...

Who would ride with the buyer to the bank in your car. Pretty stupid.
