Just checking some facts.... Was the 2012 seller of a fake tudor watch serial number 860976 , also called Robert Bob Long from Bungay in Norfolk? Because that would be a coincidence. Asking for a friend.

Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
I’m still a little unsure as to his full name and where he lives. Can somebody please enlighten me...?
I might be wrong but does this involve Robert Bob Long of Bungay selling a fake Tudor- Really hope this doesn’t come up on Google searches.........

Now if only we had a link to the court report from the first time he sold the watch..........
I think it is him. See EADT for:
Looking at that, "Mr Long...lives in Kirby Cane, near Bungay", in a house with a distinctive fence, near a national speed limit sign that is opposite a transformer on a pole...need I go on?
Unless it wasn't his own house...
This thread is getting a bit too much... Surely Jeweller Bob, from Bungay in Suffolk has enough on his plate, what with having 2 cars with similar registrations getting mixed up at the Dartford crossing: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/173095...in-his-garage/
That's jeweller Bob Long from Bungay in Suffolk. Yes, Suffolk. Not Norfolk.
^^^^^
He only lives near Bungay. His house is in Norfolk...see #60 above.
Edit
You're not wrong:

Sobering read and really glad you got your money back. Good to see others on the forum supporting you and also reporting him to Ebay etc.
Like the others, I hope that anyone searching for him finds this thread for Bob Long from Bungay and is suitably warned off.
Thanks again for all your support guys, it’s always nice to know who your friends are and together we can do our best to ensure he doesn’t pass this pup off to anyone else.
I asked him what he wanted for it and he said £5K so if it has been legit it would have been a great buy, I must admit I don’t follow Tudor and Rolex prices like omega but I assumed it was worth £6-8K, having researched after I bought it they seem to do quite a lot more.
His price was also another obvious ‘trap’ to lure me in and get it sold quickly.
Ultimately these things happen and at the end of the day I got my money back. What bothered me wasn’t the situation it was his bare face lies throughout and then making me drive 7 hours round trip and feel grateful he’d refunded me when all along he knew categorically it was fake.......

And if he can afford to spend ridiculous amounts on ridiculous license plates, clearly he's not pauper. Which makes it even worse, to think he would do all that while being rather well-off. I guess some peoples brains are wired quite differently that what would be known as "normal". He definitely deserves more than just some negative search terms on Google, I do hope he will get in trouble eventually and pay his dues.

This thread is almost as good as that numpty trying to sell a fake Rolex to Haywood, both should be made sticky 😂
I hope he doesn't have any trouble with his (apparently fully original barn-find) £50k mini cooper.
It does make you wonder what else might not be quite as it seems.
Bungay is in Suffolk.
It’s where my mums half of the family hail from and where I have spent a great deal of my life.
Bongo lives in Beccles, tell him it’s Bungay and a tenner says he will get a real grump on.
All that aside, what a scummer
Nice car. I might hop on eBay and ask a few questions about it.

What happened, somebody tried to scam one of the members?
Can somebody please give me the details?
Someone who lies about the little things will lie about the big things too.
I'd like to think I know most of the people in my trade.
Never heard of him.
Anyone know the details of the pawnbroking business he was a part of?
Excellent read, lacking only some audio and video recordings with which it would have scored top marks

Lots of places like that: My parents live in a little village in Suffolk, but it's near Diss, which is in Norfolk, so their address is:
Village
Diss
Suffolk
and around 30% of their mail is "edited" by some bright spare in the Royal Mail with either a scribble or a yellow sticker telling them the address is wrong. Luckily, they have a clever local postman who understands.
My mate lives Palgrave, also outside Diss, technically he's in suffolk, but his postal town is also diss. Its the IP postcode that gives it away. Although as they say, A day spent out of Norfolk is a day wasted.
As sir John betjeman once said :
East anglia, cut off on three sides by the sea, and on the fourth by British rail
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
I think as per post 1 by OP, this is the guy:
Wish I could ask the eBay seller if a fake Tudor Monte Carlo comes with the car.... I double-dog dare someone here to do that.
Maybe read post #1...?
Great read and those pictures are so Swiss Tony of Norfolk!
Going by the evidence against him it seems like he is trying to recoup pride in himself for being turned over in the first place as he doesn’t seem short of a few quid, rather than deal with his seller (probably way too late now) he’s trying to pass the problem off to some other unsuspecting buyer, if his mindset is this way then he should never be trusted with any sales..

So Robert Victor Long, aka Bob Long, purveyor of fine Fake Tudor Watches in Bungay Norfolk or possibly Suffolk (depending on who you ask) also appears to own a slightly dubious Mini Cooper.
That ultra rare barn find according to the DVLA is a Rover Mini registered in 1982. Correct me if I am wrong but original Mini’s from the 60’s had fixed rear windows too, not ones that opened. They were also Austin or Morris and certainly not Rover
The Roller on eBay, pictured on the grass verge - so potentially “on the road”. The MOT expired in August 2012. Maybe they’ve changed the requirements for vintage and veteran cars requiring a test?
Lastly, when checking the Reg numbers of the 59 Fiat500 (10 NG) and the Jeep (1 ONG) where he’s reportedly been fined multiple times having used the Dartford Crossing - maybe it’s because the one on the Jeep doesn’t appear on the DVLA’s database.
Dodgy f**ker indeed.
Our mini...3 numbers, 3 letters, no year suffix registration...had those strange rear windows that hinged at the front and opened about two inches at the rear end. Our next car, not new, had an F suffix that puts it in the late sixties, so I'm pretty sure our mini dated from the early sixties.
Perhaps report to Rouge traders

Does he have a letter box :>)
That is unbelievable. I’m glad you got your money back despite the hassle!
Definitely one to watch out for - unfortunately I’m sure there are a hell of a lot more out there.
It's just a matter of time...
hello I’m Robert Long , if you are going to give opinions get your facts right my 1963 number 6 cooper s was registered in 1982 because it was either imported or off the road prior to the dvla change over in 1982. Google “ dvla car check” put the coopers reg in and all will be revealed not a Rover but MANUFACTURED 1963 Morris cooper s 1071 cc .is that ok for everyone . Reg number in photos on this site .
To the Monte Carlo watch reply by me see “ dickstar 1977 “
No denial of being a fake watch seller at least...
This is definitely going to be an all-time classic TZ thread...
hi I’m Robert Long reply to the Lynch mob
I have been a pawn broker for thirty five years . I’m the Jack of all trades and the master of non ,especially watches .
I have owned this Monte Carlo for about 15 years I put it on eBay for a low price as it had replacement parts dial , later case etc . Movement ,case back ,etc was fine and it had been repaired twice by rolex expert .tom dickstar1977 spotted my add within minutes of putting it on eBay . He offered me £5000 and buy it now , I said why don’t you come to my home address and satisfy your self you are happy with the watch , he said he was too busy and would rather wire the moneys and get his niece to collect the watch which he did ,to my dismay this young girl turned up in the pitch dark to collect the watch I was quite concerned as for the responsibility Tom had put on her .
Anyway he recieved the watch and he text me to say he was happy , 2 weeks later he said he had taken it to a watch dealer I can only presume to make a large profit ,but to be told it was a copy I said if it was returned in the same condition he would get a refund which he got , a perfect original one of these watches are about £20000 not £5000 Tom though he was onto a fast buck .
The other watch which people are saying is the same watch ,that people are saying I went to court about beats me , I have never ever been to court about a watch I got questioned several years ago about a britling watch that was given by britling to Mi5 agents, they were not supposed to be sold that’s it no action taken by the police .
Anyway A SCAMMER DECIEVES PEOPLE OUT OF GOODS OR CASH CERTAINLY DOES NOT REFUND OR RETURN THE GOODS AND MEETS IN CAR PARKS AND PUBLIC PLACES NOT AT THE PERSONS HOME ADDRESS
WHAT THE HELL IS EVERYONE COMPLANING ABOUT ? He didn’t lose anything apart from making a large profit and his pride .to sum up GREED IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL .does anyone want it for £38 ?as that wat Tom says it’s worth
Robert long
JUST SEEN DICKSTAR1977 profile (Tom ) over 3600 postings OMG HE IS A PRO COMPLAINER
