I am glad you like the watch.
To every one reading : everything went well. happy customer it look like.
The only flaw in the 2 sig transaction without an escrow is that if the buyer was a scamer he could have kept his share of the private key and ask for some BTC to release the private key.
(like : give me 1 btc and i release to you the 5btc transaction for the selling).
maybe an escrow or a 3 out of 4 sig is a good choice using 2 escrows independent
Anyway : TTbit is trusty
Watch is sold i'm going to edit the main post

This is true, I could have. Every transaction is going to have risk. Sending funds to an escrow would have the risk that I claim the package was empty, or the escrow agent just runs off with the money.
The watch trade was not going to happen if it came down to one of us sending first. We were able to change the risk parameters so that we both felt comfortable trading. You still need honest people on both sides.
