I'm sure there is a troll at work here

There's something very fishy about the OP and this story. It seems remarkably like the thread about a Canadian selling a Submariner to a Briton.
http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=399523

Strangely enough Lol-X got involved after receiving a PM from the OP

There is too much coincidence for my liking. I smell troll

Remarkable resemblance and pattern.

Stay away from eBay guys. Lots of horror (true) stories. Regardless of the OP's claim validity that is.

It's definitely a troll. I reported the OP to the mods. The title of the thread is libelous IMHO. I don't think we want that on TRF

That's interesting because it was the OP in this thread (5500) who complained to Steve in a PM about that thread you found from 2015.

Perhaps this is the same real person posting using 2 different TRF ID's.
Or the OP is purposefully pushing buttons to pester TRF along the lines of his PM.

Nathan was the good cop on this - I had posted in that 2015 thread and was skeptical about that matter. But when this new one came up, I just felt we didn't need to give a bully pulpit to eBay'ers who bring their bad deals into TRF.
