Wrist Watch being Held to Ransom! Help!!!

This could create problems in work for your friend. If you value the friendship at more than £80, then I'd bite the bullet and pay what they're asking.

If there was no friend involved then I'd be looking at an LBA then small claims.

report it to the police as it seems like a theft of your watch

The police will not be remotely interested in a civil dispute. The OP handed the watch over voluntarily.

Thanks for all the replies.

Don't any of you take up comedy for a living will you....

Seriously though, if a friend wasn't involved, I'd be doing exactly as the more legally minded suggest.

However, as there is a friend involved and I know that, that person values the employment, I will pony up the cash and put it down to experience.

Thanks once again for the time a lot of you have taken.

Cheers for now.
