June sent my Longeens antique watch with case to watchbrokers.com. It took three weeks to get an appraisal, then three weeks later they told me it was sold to someone in Canada, they had the money, when the money cleared they would send him the watch. He would then have 21 days to check out its authenticity and return it. Was told the end of October, all was well, it was sold, and the paperwork was in accounting and I should expect a check in two weeks. Mid December, no check, no one answers the phone calls, just voice mails (they must have caller ID).
I travel a great deal for business, and was in Atlanta yesterday, January 14. Found the store, a little dump. Told them I wanted to buy a watch. Low and behold, my salesman was Albert Gentile. The guy sitting at the desk when you walk in did't identify himself, but he sounded just like Eric Toso. And my watch happened to be sitting in one of the showcases. I didn't identify myself, instead I asked if I could see the watch. When they handed it to me, I then identified myself, and told them I was taking my watch home with me.
There are hundreds of watches there on display, and I am sure they never expected me to show up. Wish I had a camera to catch Alberts expression when I said my name. I think the only way to get your watches back is to go get them. I wish everyone who is caught in their scheme good luck. Any questions, my email is
Good Luck
