I strongly disagree. I am very confident this guy will be brought to justice some time soon. The Rolex community is way bigger than most think and this passion for watches is very strong. There are many people here in all sorts of professions that don't post that get involved when this type of stuff happens.

Thank God I turned down his offer to meet up in Cądiz a few months ago. He wanted to meet me for lunch to discuss watches etc. and he even said he was bringing along his 1680, thankfully I didn't have time or I just might have been a victim as well. As I said before, I would have sent this guy my watch with promise of payment or trade without a second thought. This is scary, he masked himself amongst us and played us for fools. Anastasios, I pray you catch this turd and put him out of his misery. He sure would look great behind bars.

Below is the picture of the scammer Tristan Bouchez Traversier (Bassethounds)
if you want to help... distribute this picture on every watch web site, any Rolex
buying, selling, trading, club, shop, service, auction etc. So all will be informed.

Thank you for your attention and kind words.
(Also the Maggot edit..lol)

Trust me when I say that...
I will bring Tristan back to order, because if I will not (?)
then every cyber-village idiot will think he can scam us.. and that's against protocol.

Fair call...my comment was referring to this Rotten Apple who has put a sour taste into the trust and professionalism of the members and the trust of All here at the TRF. (period)
Good luck and great skills if WE do collectively bring him to justice, I sincerely hope so.
Disagree with me all you like, my support is for the majority and not for this low life Thief, hope you understand

@ TempoKing, Great job! keep it up

Des u are right , that rotten apple has destroyed our TRF community in a way that now trust doesnt exist and professionalism is always questioned.

I hope we kick his a$$ and get him to pay!

Shocked you say that Eddie, some might say thing which are wrong at times, but I'm SURE they never meant any harm to their fellow members.
Tristan's case is DELIBERATE.

I FULLY AGREE that this Tristan dirtbag is a deliberate crook.

But the fact remains that as of late we have had several active liked members melt down or get banned.

All I am saying is it is unfortunate.

Let me know if you need a pair of handcuffs. I'd send you a pair as long as you return them after you drop him off at the jail.

I'd love to have the pair of handcuffs that were used to arrest this thief!

I know this has been said here before, but the gravity of this situation is far reaching and has the potential to impact our little community in a large way.

Nail this prick to the wall.

Best of luck to you in your hunt for this dirt bag. In talking with the detective who helped me recover my watches and cash last winter, it turned out that the very public pressure brought upon Andy Hayes by me and the many helpful members of TRF was the final push to get him to return the watches.

He was well aware that he would not be prosecuted legally for the scam, but he feared the widespread information about him, his home, family, friends, neighbors and employer we had disseminated, knowing it could follow him around in every aspect of his life. The more information you can post on Tristan, the more nervous he will become (or should become, if he has any brains at all.) Assume that Tristan is reading these posts, as I found out that Hayes kept up with the posts in my scam thread. Hi Tristan! You suck.

Sorry to disagree with you 100% John.

The actions of this guy has not affected my trust in other Forum members at all.

Huge kneejerk reaction IMO.

If his many actions didn't leave a bad taste in your mouth, then maybe your accustomed to such beheavior.

I have only been on this site for a few months, it seems that you have made friendships that span a lot longer then mine, and I am happy that you trust people. However, until we all log on on this forum with our real names, and the fact that we log on using usernames, means that neither of us trust everyone because anyone can be anyone on the internet. Unless you meet people as I had the pleasure to have met the Perth members, trust then can be earned and applied between all Perth members.

I am still puzzled, how can I trust someone who I never met and the only thing I know about them is just a username on a site. You can not tell me that you can place trust in people based on that? If you can, then you are a better person then I am!

Well John,

You are the one who stated that this 'rotten apple has destroyed our TRF community in a way that now trust doesnt exist and professionalism is always questioned'.

A sweeping statement for someone who has stated they have only been here for a few months.

Why is it some seem to focus on the bad things but forget the good things that members have done for each other.

IMO most of the time it is not difficult to establish credibility on this Forum and easy to assess whether someone is genuine or not. Just ask the question on the Forum and you will have a good chance of finding the correct answer. This unfortunately does not work when someone plans a set up. Under these circumstances the Forum should be forming a tighter group and not look at being destroyed as a community as you posted.

My point was that I can speak for myself and can disagree with your negative position if I choose.

I disagree with you except for the 'you are a better person then I am'! part.

Eddie. - real name.

Not much of an explanation Desmond.

Yes I followed all his threads and also know that I had more information than most but one man will not 'Absolutely wreck it for everyone here at TRF'.

IMO life on the Forum will go on. We will learn from this and we will be better for it in the long term but I for one will move forward positively rather than spend the rest of my time on the Forum distrusting members.

To my knowledge, my beheavior (sic) is not in question on this Forum. (a cheap shot Desmond).
