Cortina Watch Theft Saga

[Darkangel]

u really want? i got his card leh. but i dun dare to call and i dun think the number is valid now.

Confirm number not valid 1 la...if not mata will call him and ask where he is

[seiko.citizen]

not true. can be active, but mata monitor the line. you call, mata call YOU asking you where jerry is

[Nooch]

If u do a search u would be able to get his invalid number :P

[billykueek]

I always buy with credit card, safer that way and got protection from card company. In addition, I get miles, miles, miles...

i do not rule out the possiblity that a few regulars/dealers might be conned by him. Since the wanbao can report this thing, he should have approached some potential customers/dealers.

he can offer them very good prices, the watches may even come with G cards w cortina stamp to "guarantee" them that the watches are fr proper sources.

of course, he need to collect cash from them fast, then make his way out of singapore quickly.

i hope that no bros here kena from him, as you have to surrender the watches to police for investigation.

Saw it in the papers today.... damn.. these timepieces so limited and high end... think its hard to sell in the blackmarket...somemore blacklisted serial

[Oceanklassik]

Well I think the culprit(s) can sell at "desperate" prices? Below cost maybe say, for the PP, at $150,000?? Or even lower since no need capital..

[psee]

Agree that it will certainly not be easy to liquidate these watches ...

[116520]

Who knows you will see those watches in the next Sotheby's or Christie's Auctions....ha ha ha.....

[seiko.citizen]

you see it on the guy sitting next to you in the coffee shop

[bubbfish]

... think its hard to sell in the blackmarket...somemore blacklisted serial

Still can buy; unless you are thinking of re-selling it.

Own a super nice watch at an incredible low price and gets to enjoy it, no one knows unless you let them check on the serial number.

So, i reckon there will still be buyer.

[wedgehammer]

yeah still buyers for those... even famous artwork gets fenced what, some thefts even commissioned by art collectors... could also be used in the underworld system
