| Mar 7, 2023 at 22:28 | comment | added | JonathanReez | @Marianne013 do you have statistics on hand to show that ~99% of legitimate watch buyers check with the manufacturer? It might be a poor decision but it doesn't necessarily prove one's malice. People make poor decisions all the time, otherwise various scams would be completely impossible. | |
| Mar 7, 2023 at 12:08 | comment | added | Marianne013 | Was this your first contact with Blancpain ? Because otherwise you bought a 10k+ watch from an individual (and not an official retailer) and didn't check with the manufacturer at the time to see if it is real and not counterfeit ? Can you clarify ? Because otherwise the "good faith" looks a bit shaky. If on the other hand Blancpain has serviced the watch before and this issue only recently came to light, the situation is very different. | |
| Mar 7, 2023 at 0:28 | comment | added | gnasher729 | Also interesting what happens if the watch company returns the watch to the original owner. Since they have never sold, lost, or abandoned the watch, I would think they own it. Now someone else has a reasonable claim to own it as well, but I suppose nobody has the duty to hand it over to the other. | |
