he is probably using your image to solicit orders

meaning he doesnt want to hold inventory, but should someone order, he can get from some source. there are alot of these back to back grey dealers, reputable ones even. best< Horo

Sorry to hear your concerns. Cheer up. Copying is a form of flattery also. That means they liked you images more than other images they saw. Maybe you should consider a business/hobby in taking watch pictures. Jim
A public domain, yes, but with certain rules...

And even more when the picture is taken for the purpose of a commercial matter, a book, a sale, etc... And I don't even speak about Education, which would, at the minimum, requires to ask to the one who took the pic the permission to use his photo... Best...
not flattery....

I agree. He is using YOUR images of YOUR watch to sell a watch he may or may not have in his possession. If he was being so honest and admiring your incredible pictures, he would have disclosed that they were not of the actual watch (allegedly) for sale. ...
what did you expect?
