Johnny Flyback is a guy named Amit Handa who I found online when I was looking for an IWC watch for my boyfriend. He claims to be a watch expert with 20 years of experience and he seemed to know what he was talking about. He worked in Boston for his (now bankrupt) family business named Alpha Omega which I only researched after the fact. It turns out that his family fled for India. They owed creditors tens of millions of dollars and fled the country with millions of dollars of missing inventory. Apparently the FBI was investigating them and the father - Raman Handa - will not come back to face creditors or law enforcement, probably because they will indict him for fraud and embezzlement.
Amit Handa met me at a 5 star hotel in Beverly Hills where he showed me several discounted IWC watches. He gave me the watch at cost because it was a 4 year old model. How I should have known it was too good to be true! The watch was part of the missing inventory at Alpha Omega and it was actually refurbished and out of warranty when I tried to repair the crown and buckle. When I called him up to get it fixed, he claimed that they were minor repairs and that he wasn't responsible for the warranty. I told him I wanted my money back and he laughed and made a joke about it. That's when I started my research on Amit Handa.
If you google "Raman Handa, Alpha Omega, Boston Globe Blog" you will find over 200 comments about this scheister and his family of crooks. Not only did the family rip off their suppliers but they were really bad to their employees who they left high and dry when they fled to India. These people should be locked up and put away!
