How he explains disappearing with people’s money, of which he allegedly owes one buyer $100k for a Platinum Rolex Day-Date, I’m not sure. Personally, I don’t think CE was knowingly selling people fakes, so it’ll be interesting to see what else emerges from the woodwork. There are probably many others sick at the thought they’re now in possession of a replica watch once sold to them by the accused. He then deactivated his social channels.Īt this time there are still a handful of buyers in the lurch, be it waiting on product ‘stuck’ in customs or on their money back. I reached out to Essery on Facebook for comment and he said he’d made some mistakes, looking for excuses to try and buy time to honour deals or to return peoples money, and while using the bushfires is appalling – we all make mistakes. Two, he’s shipping the products as a ‘repaired item’ to avoid incurring GST once the watch arrives in Aus (because a repaired item has theoretically already been imported and tax paid) and taking the GST for himself, which is really crook. One, the products aren’t real and he’s not only ripping people off with replica product but pocketing an additional 10% of the fake value to cover a perceived GST payment. Which is the cost outlined in the invoice and not for financial gain (although he would pocket the difference between the 10% on the purchase price and the sale price). So if he’s receiving the watches from a grey market supplier overseas he’s exposed to that fee and has every right to pass that on to the buyer. You have to pay it to release the watch from FedEx or Toll. The logical explanation to the GST charge, if the products are legit is simple, is that an import to Australia over the value of $1000 is charged GST. Many are claiming he has defrauded the tax department by invoicing GST when his business, Horology House, isn’t registered for it, are also pushing an incorrect agenda. "Buy the seller" – Chris Missery 2019 #esserygateĪ post shared by not Chris Essery on at 11:13pm PST For a bloke that once made a Youtube video advising viewers exactly how to spot a fake Rolex (now deleted along with his channel), it is admittedly, hard to swallow that he didn’t know he was in possession of and trading a replica.Ĭouldn't resist reposting his face. CE has been accused of using every excuse under the sun to evade buyers, including claiming that his parent’s house burnt down during the bushfire crisis by sharing a photo of a burning home that was published in a news article online months earlier.Īs a member of the AWBSS forum myself, the moderation has been Nazi-like, with bans for anyone with a stray opinion swift and permanent. Unfortunately for the accused, the hearsay doesn’t look great with entire Whatsapp conversations exported, email correspondence screenshottedw, and stories shared of watch buyers getting the runaround due to shipping problems, customs concerns, overseas travel, family and more.
