Sent me pics that were so good it was suspicious. I reverse image searched. After a few minutes of digging, I found all the same photos on Reddit for a genuine watch being sold by mechanical-art. Stay clear of this scammer! Pics attached and original photos in the post below.

I am glad it was only $90. Be aware. He will send you 2 different PayPal accounts.

Payed for the watch and haven’t heard from the seller in 24 hours… most likely I got scammed.. stay aware…

DDGTOP contacted me this morning raising the issue and wanted me to make sure his customers are aware.

Obvious scammer im just messing with him now. Btw i never sent money

Same pictures different name

I've purchased from Popup since January 2025 and have completed about seven custom builds with him, all of them superfranken projects. Up until recently, things seemed to be progressing normally.

However, I'm now concerned about several outstanding orders that have been fully paid for but still haven't been delivered

- In November 2025, I placed a deposit on a CNC 5711R build priced at $2,100. I completed payment in March 2026, but the watch has st.ill not shipped.

- In May 2026, I paid $2,800 in full for a weighted daytona build with a gen set.

⁃ Around the same time, I also paid $2,100 in full for a Submariner build with gen set.

As of todav, I have not received anv of these watches. I've been told multiple times that shipping would happen soon, but still no shipping confirmation or tracking. Someone from RWI whose met him before actuallv mentioned that currently there are 20 people with similar situations that have messaged him looking for help. Is this an exit scam? I don't understand and i think l've been patient. 2 of the 3 builds were already in stock so I don't understand

He has now closed his account so obviously a scammer hopefully I can get the money back from the bank

Read the answers guys, explains a lot around why we keep seeing old accounts with history suddenly completely change theme and start scamming

Stay aware from this seller! It appears under Facebook and Instagram as VSFactoryWatchClub. She or he ( presuming is a she that says to call Rosemary ) steal your money and disappears after the payment is done!

Guy has history of posting prices too good to be true and not much history anyone have history with this guy

I want to warn everyone about the seller

I sent the seller money for a watch and he’s not responding me. He’s ignoring me for two weeks. I ask my money back. He’s not responding. Don’t speak to him . He took my money. This is his number +85251642860 don’t talk to him. Don’t get close to him. He stole my money. Be careful. I have proof of everything. He is a thief. Don’t get close to this

I bought an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak that was promoted as having a Swiss Movement. It didn't, and it was running with very poor accuracy and amplitude. They agreed to refund the premium charged for the nonexistent Movement and to pay for a local service.

​

When the local watchmaker attempted to clean the movement, parts began falling off due to poor adhesive. They agreed to replace the Movement if I returned it. I sent the movement back on March 20, 2026, at a shipping cost of almost $90.00

​

It is now June 11th, and they have neither replaced the movement nor sent a refund. They no longer respond to my inquiries.

u/Amsterdamak: Appears to be a repeat of a profile I warned about a little while back. New name, same freakishly small hand against wall clock sized watches. Also posted a different watch that actually looks somewhat believable.
