Timeline for A Swiss watch company seized my watch, saying it was stolen. I bought it 10 years ago. Is that legal?

Such people may be presumed to be legally sophisticated, and any peculiarities of that market would be taken into account. | |

| Mar 7, 2023 at 22:31 | comment | added | JonathanReez | Your failure to use that service might be interpreted as the lack of the good faith => unless Blackpain has some statistics to show that ~99% of legitimate watch buyers use that service, this seems like a huge stretch. Lots of people wouldn't even know such a service exists and just rely on their own gut judgement. I can certainly see myself buying such a watch and not bothering to check, assuming I trusted the seller. | |
