I ve ordered a vintage omega for 1650$ and have received an empty box ! He said that the resposability was for the delivering company ! He kept all my money plus the 260$ of an extended repair waranty that I had contracted...
I just bought a vntage, near mint (basically looks new) watch from farfo and received mine just fine. Perhaps somewhere in the delivery of yours someone stole it? He has many good comments on his web site, and his description of the watch I bought from him was outstanding. He even upgraded the watch band to a Croc strap for free. I think yours must have been stolen in the shipping process somewhere.
Did he purchase insurance when sending the watch to you? He should call the shipper for you. I know when I ship high dollar items I purchase insurance.
