First I want to thank all of you which have helped and guided. I still hope this will come to a good end. This is so frustrating. One thing is very sure: I sent package fully insured to the buyer's address (and paid extra for insurance)...if I will ever see the watch or my money back is another question!?

The buyer also took his responsability by warning the local police department and ofcourse also UPS UK. His neighbour will also be interrogated by the police. The London police now has pictures, serialnumber and description of the vintage Heuer Daytona that's missing now. UPS also has all this data now and also picked up the empty box with the buyer fo evidence and further investigation. They will investigate this matter and report us as soon as possible.

The Heuer Daytona now is in an official police database and when it is ever found it has to be returned to its owner. No matter if it already has been sold or not. If anyone should see this watch or know where it resides you must report it to the UK Police.

I guess that's it for now.

Best regards and thanks again,
Abel.

: Hello to you all. I have a rather unpleasant message this time...

: I have a vintage Heuer Daytona gone lost with UPS! Strangely enough
: the package arrived to its destination at time and there has
: been signed for!?

: The buyer of this watch prefers to remain anonymous on this board,
: I'm confident he's not fooling with me. I sent package with UPS
: Standard service, fully insured from Belgium to UK (N147BY -
: LONDON). Strangely enough the package arrived perfectly on time
: and there has been signed for upon receiving. However, the
: package was delivered with the neighbour and not with the buyer
: itself.

: Now, when the buyer opened the package (after he got it the day
: after delivery from his 88 year old neighbour) he didn't find
: the Heuer Daytona inside. All he found was brown paper and
: bubble wrap...no watch at all. The buyer also sent me some pics
: of the package...there has been tampered with the package as
: there was also some brown tape used on the package, I only used
: clear tape...also picture attached.

: Here are some pictures of the watch that has been
: "stolen". Modelnumber 110.203B and serial 357527 are
: clearly visible in one picture;

: If someone sees a Daytona coming up for sale with this serial...I
: would appreciate if you would let me know!
