Quite cunning really. The below statements are clearly deliberate attempts to appear unaware of the true value of the watch, set the expectation he'd accept under retail and encourage direct contact.
What a conniving scumbag!
I’m not sure what the retail price was as it was a present but I understand due to it not being brand new as much I’m not going to get full retail price back.
Get in touch with any questions I’ll try get back to you as soon as I can, Bare in mind though I’m no watch expert but I’m happy to answer any queries.
