MIAMI (WSVN) - A Michigan man is facing felony charges after Miami police say he sold a stolen $116,000 luxury watch to a local jewelry store using false documentation.
According to the affidavit, the case began Sept. 30, 2024, when a victim in California messaged an Instagram account for “Gallery Watch Spot,” offering to sell a gold Audemars Piguet Royal Oak wristwatch for $116,000.
The account’s representative, later identified by investigators as Nono Kwette Vandester Forma, agreed to buy the watch but asked the victim to ship it first so its authenticity could be verified.
The victim shipped the watch to an address in Tonawanda, New York. The account confirmed receipt of the watch the next day, then cut off communication, the affidavit states.
