Trust and Contract: Why the Rolex Affair in Peguera Is More Than a Criminal Case

Answer

Why are private luxury-item deals in Mallorca often difficult to prove later?

Private sales can be hard to verify if there is no proper paper trail. Without photos, serial numbers, witnesses, or a clear record of the handover, it becomes difficult to show who owned what and when. That is why informal agreements can turn into complicated disputes, especially with watches and jewellery.
