Yep, he probably thought he could lay low for a couple weeks, change his user name, and be back in business.

He's also go the 5508 back up again as well:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/322209708428

Along with a bunch of others:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/superiorvintagewatches/m.html

In addition to fake cases and dials, I have am pretty sure most of those rivet bracelets are fake as well (the ones with 57 end links).

Just FYI, guys, the recently banned and very active member marcusjcw21 (the one who was supporting WatchGroupCorp so strongly today, and calling out fakes 20 times a day for the last two weeks) is also WatchGroupCorp aka SuperiorVintageWatches, or at least operating from the same IP address.

Thanks

Yep, this guy seems to be serious con artist, in it for the long con. Fortunately all his elaborate efforts over the last two weeks have only resulted in him shooting himself in the foot today.

Might as well cross-post this here too:

After doing a bit of (further) digging, it looks like Marcusjcw21 AKA Watchgroupcorp, AKA Superiorvintagewatches, AKA Tim Strong is actually noted watch scammer and con-artist extraordinaire Terry Allison, AKA Linda Allison (his mother), AKA Jonathan Witherell, AKA Deboy Watches, AKA Montres Allison.

I don't have nearly enough time to post all of the information out there, but this should serve as a quick primer: http://www.ripoffreport.com/r/Montre...-Allison/53378

Also noteworthy and ironic is that he owns the domain "fakewatchbusta.com" and is claiming to be the internet-famous Instagram user of the same name who calls out fake watches (of course, no links anywhere in sight to the actual IG account, lol).
His "bio" on that site is good for a laugh as well: http://fakewatchbusta.com/index.php?...498&Itemid=101

Here are a few other sites he is associated with:

montresallison.com
timestrong.us
timestrong.co
mondanijewelers.com
brevetwatch.com
watchgroupcorp.net
fakewatchbusta.com
brevet.us

Shocked, but not that surprised, seemed off from the start. All that ranting about sellers undermining people's faith in the vintage Rolex market coming from watchgroupcorp of all people! Unbelievable!

He also asked if I would share photos of the free sprung balance of the Swiss Ultra Fakes.
Gladly I had not

He's not even a creative watch faker... looks like he gets his "inspiration" from real vintage watches on the internet:

https://www.worldoftime.de/en/rolex....ner-19398.html

Notice the uncanny similarities of his Ebay sub to the one in the link above.

Then again, they both look like artificially faded bezel inserts!

That's why we give no info to new members. I was too trusting as he represented himself as a watchmaker
