Would you buy a $40k watch on that record? That’s insufficient in my view regardless of hundreds of Google reviews for a seller that sells all sorts of stuff, other than watches, including jewelry and diamonds.

the who's who here doesn't have anything about a lot of big/well known greys/jewelers with store fronts and massive social media presences (crm jewelers, TPT, avi & co, etc). it's a great place to start but it's mostly full of threads about trusted sellers or users on this site
you're right though - would i have bought a watch that expensive from these guys? i don't think so, especially if i'm on the other side of the country. if i'm doing something online it's strictly with the few sellers here that have massive amounts of feedback and ones that everyone loves. with the diamond district you gotta do business in person imo. but still don't think OP is to blame here, they're a legit shop at the end of the day and even then he did get a good price on a watch that's in good shape (just unfortunate the way it happened)
anyway, also curious to know how this all ended
