A Dutch Internet fraudsters under the name "Dracha" or "Dracha 3", real name Kenting, sometimes using the false alias “Ken Thing", apparently is active again on eBay, Chrono24 and other watch forums, trying to defraud people, lying and scamming them in forums.
This Dracha is a gangster who was wanted by the German prosecutor because he had sold watches on eBay, collecting money and did not deliver. He sold a watch to a friend of mine, but never shipped it. I published this in "Watchuseek" and have been blocked there because I had added the prosecution case number as evidence a day too late. Since then, he discredits everything that comes from me.
In the beginning of my watch collection days, when I was not yet knowledgeable enough, he sold me a fake Breitling 1461, which was made up from a regular Navitimer without date function, the moonphase did not function at all. That was the only time that I had seen him on the Dutch border, as he was terrified to cross the border to Germany, probably because he was or is on the wanted list of German prosecution.
He is also paranoid and thinks he knows everything better and watches that do not belong to himself must be forgeries. In fact, he rallies around with his semi-knowledge in a variety of forums and discredits all serious watch collectors out of envy, because he can not afford these watches.
Now and again he tries to scam people with the sale of sailing boats, probably the most common scam with boats lying in harbor while the real owners are away.

sadly enough I don't have attorneys or even a lawyer , but even if I did I wonder if I should even bother , the man has obviously lost it and I have a hard time taking him seriously (as does the greater community , sadly he has followers in Germany that truely believe him and what he says)
If the german prosecuter really wanted me , do you think i'd be sitting here at home ? , with the EU rules in place you cant even escape traffic violations made in an other country let alone be still at home if those kind of accusations were correct
He accused me a few times, I even had to provide some shipping documents to the 'staatsanwalt' (country prosecuter) after which the staatsanwalt decided that he didnt have a case and all charges were dropped.
regarding the 1461 , yes he did buy that from me and that is indeed the only time I met him early 2006 or late 2005 (cant really remember the exact date) and at that time he was just starting he watch trading business , had I known whom I was dealing with I would have never sold him the watch . The reason for meeting at the dutch-german border was to 'meet in the middle' as I didnt feel like driving to Aachen and the border was halfway for both of us.
Before a price was agreed I informed him that one of the push rods was missing and the moondial , even though it operated just fine, couldnt be set manually, he's got a selective memory I guess ?
His son/cousin inspected the watch as he couldnt read the inscriptions and markings on the watch himself , money exchanged hands , we said goodbye and left . After that I even offered him several more watches as I had no clue who he was until much later . He never claimed the watch didn't work either, or was a frankenwatch , so thats a load of bull . I will post pics from the 18K 1461 (limited to 50 pieces , I sold him #9) on the forum if Roff doesnt mind as its not a pre 1979 watch
here's a link to the album with pics of said watch

Last year I alerted him (through e-mail) that I found one of his stolen watches (see other thread) and I even received a thank you e-mail back saying that he was sorry about some of the things he said and could we start a normal conversation again ! .. well, guess where that suggestion goes
My sincere appologies to disrupt the forum like this but I wanted to share
