Potentai scam alert - Patria Watches

Oct 03, 2024,09:59 AM
 

Please be alerted that Patria team stopped responding to email requests after receiving my order for a Patria Brigadier Tourbillon and CHF 6,300 prepayment. The watch is by now long overdue and now they have stopped even responding to emails. So probably best to stay away from them. Will update you if there are further developments. Thanks.

Yes, I am also corresponding with Mr Adam at present and we have discussed a secure way for me to remit the final payment once the watch is ready so hopefully this will end well.

Final payment?

Would you please share with me your discussions with Patria as to how you are going to make final payment in a secure way?

I am very hesitant. Do you know of anyone that has received the watch, or have you seen any postings on the internet by someone who has received the watch?

Nope, and I share your concerns!

I would not order this watch right now if I was a new customer. But I already made the prepayment - and thus will try to complete the purchase if I am satisfied that my watch has been built using a secure (reversible) credit card payment.
