Seller is acting strangely. If I was looking at buying from Michael Le AKA Goldcoastwatches then I’d hit the pause button right now. I would find what I wanted elsewhere. Until seller comes here to publicly address his issues.
If you must use this seller I suggest taking precautions. Not only would I wait until OP is made whole, I would use a middleman as escrow agent of your own choice. Maybe a trusted seller here with no connection to Michael Le AKA Goldcoastwatches.
Just my opinion - but there is a sticky here about a TRF trusted guy who went rogue. While Le may not be doing that, the symptoms smell suspicious.

77T .........excellent assessment.
I am not an attorney, but it sounds to me like if this ever hit a court of law (probably never will).............the OP is not buying a watch, he is extending (already extended) a non collateralized loan.
The "seller" did say he did not have the money to buy the watch, so he needed a loan from you to make it happen and you "loaned" it via a "leap of faith". If TV court room law, is anything close to real court room law, I could see it now: Sir, what was your primary reason to loan the money to Gold Coast Watches? Well, it was a "leap of faith"..........
Does a "leap of faith" constitute a reasonable expectation of a return of your funds?
