The initial response by you to the 3 months of litigation and finally the NDA, just doesn't sound right.

Different laws in every state, however common law + common sense tells me otherwise. I ran this situation by my wife who is an attorney.. Missing lots of details here, but we came to the conclusion as if this was an act of fraud.. Selling something counterfeit for tens of thousands if not hundreds, is a criminal act. Very few people would agree to sign a NDA in this situation. Courts in the US are backed up. so I would imagine a court date would be a ways out. Even if you filed a lawsuit which would take some time to gather the evidence, have an attorney draft the documents, file it with the courts, get the fraudster served.. 3 months is lightening speed in normal circumstances. Let's add covid into the equation and that would slow things down more.

If you didn't say "lawsuit" I think it would have worked more in your favor as a quick settlement between two parties can be reached in most cases between attorneys before a lawsuit is filed.

NDA's can be broken in most instances when it involves a crime.

Again I am going off very very vague facts that have been presented by you but I am trying to piece this together as best as I can.

Your original statement saying you won't know anything for "several weeks" until you return to your other home is also an unusual response.

It all just seems very convenient for you to avoid any direct questions that have come up in this thread since the beginning.

A note to add:
Just to dive a bit further, Seems majority of your posts are from selling, buying or leaving feedback for others on this forum after purchases or sales. From the modern watches you post in past for sale threads, it just seems that a 5517 is outside your wheelhouse. I don't know many people who would consider one for their first vintage among almost all modern watches that you have bought and or sold here. If you were really considering a milsub and were a member here, why you wouldn't seek advise before such a serious vintage purchase?

I can assume you don't know much about vintage because you were fooled by a milsub that is obviously fake to the trained eye. I can tell you if I was personally fooled over a milsub, I wouldn't be making casual conversations in other threads I created on TRF talking about the new tudor black bay as if everything is fine. That fake watch would become my primary focus of concern.

What if it was ruled that the seller was guilty of negligent misrepresentation, and not fraudulent misrepresentation? I could see an NDA being agreed upon by both parties. The buyer for having it resolved and being compensated, and the seller for admitting the mistake and not wanting to sully his reputation.

Just thinking out loud.
