Note to Self - avoid 'buyers' who are all geared up for a run .....

from this can learn that at the very least if you can't run faster than him, meet in places where there are camera installed. ..

read somewhere (happened in singapore) this dude borrowed 3 rolex watches from his friend, said wanna show his gf to get opinion on which to buy.. ended up never return..
this consider robbing also.. but don't know if a police case can be establish or not

With the recent influx of foreigners in Singapore, I'd pretty much expect anything.

So meet up buyer and how do you reject him trying to put on the watch?

[Oceanklassik]

One method I can think of is to politely request for his/her ID card/driver's licence (if any), or any identifying doc/card, before you hand over the watch to him/her to try on or look-see. At the end of the day, it is your judgment call.

Another way is to choose a more secure venue such as a public place, rather than a remote location to meet up.
