So,

You go to Rotterdam with your watch on the understanding that dick will pay your expenses on top of asking price, phone the guy who invites you to his suite in the back alley of euro watches, e rolls you over with a couple of big boys and he makes off with the watch.

Who in his right mind would go ahead with such a stupid proposal ?

How did he dream this up I wonder. I think this dick guy is either living in coocoo land or he is a desperate fool! You could not make it up if you tried ...
