The inventory number (C40964) leads here: http://www.tic-tock.com/wingates/watch-detail/40964

If I'm reading it right, that's the listing for this particular watch, not just the same model. Maybe Wingate's can confirm the serial number (and the year and other details).

9366812

Which should be a watch made in 1986.  Adding that to the description would be helpful.

dank has posted an image of the receipt for the watch, so it might be time to shut this thread.

Where is the said receipt?  I didn't see it on the listing?  Please point us in the right direction.

dank doesn't know how to host an image properly and I can't get imgur to accept it.

The link to the image is

No, in my shoes you would have done the same thing because you don't have access to a camera or the means to obtain one.

I'll post pics tonight.

In your shoes I would have taken all the steps necessary to verify that the watch was authentic before listing it for sale.  I also would have posted a decent photo of the watch (seriously, it's upside down in the picture for one thing).  Losing your phone doesn't excuse the crappy photo you posted when you still had it.

As I've already said, I don't think you really care what the watch sells for because it was a gift (or you know it's counterfeit/stolen) - so you're not willing to go to any effort to sell it because it's all profit anyway.

You do not need a camera in order to tell people the serial number, though - you've repeatedly ignored requests for that information.  Whether you "can't be bothered" or you're with-holding information because you know damned well that you're misrepresenting the watch hardly matters - your own actions have now created a presumption that the watch is fake and the onus is now on you to prove otherwise.

+1  Bingo.   Now we understand why transactions should be done in a certain manner.  This is not rocket science, the hard part is finding reputable people to trade with.

Here's what I would have done in your shoes:

Sold the watch to a local jeweler for cash and bought Bitcoins.

If I was completely determined to do the transaction through the forum, I would be like "Hey, I know that it's a sketchy proposition to sell one of the most counterfeited items on the planet with an irreversible, anonymous transaction. Let me go out of my way to prove the watch is real, nominate a trusted escrow for the transaction, and in the process not be a complete dick about it when people are understandably suspicious."

If I was on your shoes, I would understand that the burden of proof weighs heavily on me, and do anything and everything I could to reassure buyers that it was a genuine deal. That would include my attitude towards it.

Can you just wait until I sell it and prove you wrong?

I really, really hope that no one is stupid enough to buy it from you. Not just because I don't want someone to get scammed, but because I would weep for humanity. Is anyone really stupid enough to buy this watch from Dank? Is the human brain capable of such an error? Please, god, don't let it be the case.

People gave a pirate thousands of Funbucks in an obvious Ponzi scheme.

Glad to finally see where the BACKBONE of this forum is.  I was really starting to wonder.   We can't let buyer beware be the mantra for letting people less informed than others get scam and hurt.  It just drives people away, we need more people to talk more positively about Bitcoin.  You can't search google about Bitcoin without finding your way here, that is the hard fact.

To hate another is to hate yourself, we are all the same.

If I'm the same as you, and if you own the watch, then I must own the watch, too!  When you/I sell it, I expect 142 BTC.

I don't hate you man.

Just sell the watch already.

If you can prove it's real I might even give you $1500 for it.

Then I can be known as the guy who bought Dank's rolex

Genetically we are very much the same, as for character, I don't think so.   In your shoes I would of proofed up real quick and put all this speculation to rest.  Big difference, if you talk the talk, walk the walk.  I don't put things out there that I can be called on and not deliver, and I definitely don't act so cavalier about it.

I don't think a scammer accusation is necessary.  There is clearly enough concern in the original thread to cause any buyer to beware.

And until DANK fails to pay a loan or does not complete a trade for no  reason then a scammer accusation is premature.

You could also start a "We don't like or trust Dank" Thread.  That would probably be more appropriate.

Thanks.
 

@BCB - I agree.   But this thread was not accusing Dank of being a scammer, this deal is what is the problem.   Usually when people consider going rogue, there are red flags and with his responses, warranted more attention.   Plus, in a thread format, it was a bunch of debating and off-topic responses, that helps hide the real issue.
