It seems there’s at least 5+ new members who have said they’ve been scammed. How come no one said anything sooner?

I was surprised when I first saw this as I follow Chris and saw this on his IG. After coming here though I am absolutely stunned at the level and depth of fraud here.
I would personally be exhausted running such a scam for so long. I'm exhausted just reading the chat log, g'damn... For me, besides the core issue of the fraud itself, is using a picture of someone else's burning home as cover. That's lower than low... |

Great thread and development from all involved, thanks to all impacted coming forward to post their experiences, I’d encourage all others hiding in the shadows to do so too, as Chris has now been outed the odds of anyone else waiting to be made while are marginal at best, he’ll likely delete everything, turn tail and run as this builds insurmountable against him.
It’s clear now that this was a deliberate move by Chris, he should feel shame and regret and undoubtedly does, though I must say for the sake of it I hope mentally he is strong enough to not do anything stupid. He should be held to account and lie in the bed he has made. Raw truth shall not set you free but own it and be completely clear in addressing all that your post on IG and AWBSS didn’t cover. Let the chips fall where they may. Everyone knows your reading this. |

I was in the same situation (not with Chris) one time and I didn’t share because I didn’t think anyone would take my word for it. The evidence is damning here and there is a trend, you’ll inspire others to speak up so we can really find out how deep this rabbit hole goes. It’s the only way. |

I think the event that started me doubting him is when a guy went public in AWBSS about a Zenith with missing / incorrect screws. Something like he was placing the blame to the watchmaker that fixed it or something.

I dont believe there are any ASIAN (or SWISS) chronograph movement that would take a ROLEX balance wheel assembly or resembles even closely a 4130 movement A

He sounds like a sociopath. The only thing he’ll feel bad about is having been caught

That wasn’t a picture of his parents house, it was his reputation

I am not usually moved to make any comments here but this is truely disappointing.
I really liked Chris from his vids and responses to comments on YT. The sales act itself (intentional or not), how he subsequently dealt with it and the low life opportunistic use of fictional sob story due to the devastating fires here- makes my blood boil. As an Aussie, it is an even bigger kick in the guts. So very disappointed in CE/ HH. Unsubbed from following him. |

Should of sent the fake back in 1000 pieces. POS using someone else’s burning house as his parents. Goodbye to his 68k insta and YouTube followers. Should also take legal action for damages.

Is there even one single member here who has had a successful transaction or even any positive experiences with him to say? I don't think I have seen any so far..

Me either. It is surprising more people haven't come out of the woodwork to document their experience whether positive or negative.

Wow, this is so shocking and disappointing. I really enjoyed his YT channel and Insta photos like many of you. Never would have thought he would take advantage of his public persona to scam others - what a fraud.
I really hope someone reports him to YouTube to close his channel too with all of this compelling evidence against him. |

I bought a BLNR from him before about 2 years ago, he said it's coming from overseas in about 6 weeks I believe and he delivered. There was a small problem with the watch, the crown was screwed too tightly and he forgot to resize the bracelet for me, I took it to RSC and it's fixed instantly.

So shocked and disappointed here. I am from the same city as Chris and watched all his YouTube videos right from the beginning.
I cannot respect people who sell fake watches. Especially when they scam others out of 10s of thousands of dollars. Props to OP who brought this crook into the light. |
