I was robbed yesterday by what sounds to be the same guy of my gold Nautilus (5711/1R-001) in Los Gatos, CA just outside of a watch store. He PM'd me here by the name of Kareem Parker (Username: Parkerbro) and said he wanted to purchase my watch which was previously listed, but wanted an independent shop to authenticate it. I agreed. We met in broad daylight in a prominent area where you would not suspect anyone to pull a fast one. In our communications, he provided a fake ID that roughly resembled him though of an older person. Number he used to communicate with me was 408-662-3463. Watch Movement was 5888179/6061301.

Guy had the same description. Long black and grey dreadlocks nearly down to his waist. Build was slim and roughly 5'10" between 150-160 lbs. He came with two accomplices that were initially out of sight but were keeping an eye on him to ensure the robbery was successful. He asked to try it on and within the blink of an eye he was sprinting full speed. Tried to chase after but he was too quick. Didn't see him get into a car as he was weaving in between alleys.

Here's a video link of "Kareem" face for anyone interested or if you come across this character.

Hopefully someone reads this and avoids a similar fate.

Damn!!!! Awful and I am so sorry to hear.

I’d start a new thread and include the serial number in it.
