SCAM/CHEAT Alert!
Dear All, beware of sellers posting watches that seems to be a very "GOOD" Deal.
I had contacted a forum member here in regards to his advert on a Pam 111. Please see attached pic:

So this seller, will be very friendly towards you, treating you as friends and of cuz, i myself i had let my guard down.
He claims to be in the car wrapping business and frequently have to fly oversea to work especially bangkok. There was no indication of an exact date he will deal with me and i juz waited patiently.
After a month, he told me that his friend would be going his house in Woodlands and will get his friend to deal with me.
After agreeing on a date, the person claiming to be the friend of the seller, contacted me on 20/12/2014 meeting me in Bugis around 9pm.
So upon reaching, i inspected the watch, the triple boxes, the straps and even the receipt is there with valid papers and all. The watch was like 99% new
So, i was feeling happy with a good deal, brought the watch home immediately to admire it.
After a few days, i found myself feeling funny, so i had gone online to check out similar models which is a replica made. After a few searches and homework, i had a strong feeling that it is fake.
On christmas day itself, i brought the watch to Top hour at lucky plaza whom i had dealing with the boss before and ask him to open up the watch and do some minor cleaning due to dust inside. And, casually asking him, this one i just bought, real la hor? in which he inspected through the back cover for 5 minutes and say, this one not authentic... He even say no need to clean the dust anymore.
After which i did more research, finding out that the original Pam111 swan neck regulator pin has a tiny hole in it which mine does not have.
Immediately, i contact the seller and told him the watch got issues and Panerai SG would not want to service it ( i had told him time was not accurate and there dust inside ). He was very steady and told me he would settle this issue once he comes back from korea. Which was supposed to be 2 weeks ago. After which, he did not reply to my sms / whatsapp / email and phone number got cut off
A police report has been made against this seller and a copy of the report has been sent to admin of *** for verification already.
