To me this is pretty basic. The seller either knew the watch had non-genuine parts (as well as what that means both for repair, and market value of the product) and sold it as genuine. In this case shame on him and he deserves no trust.

Given his reported reputation here (I am new to TRF) I would guess that this is not the case. Therefore he unwittingly sold a watch with non-genuine parts. That makes the seller ethically bound to make this right, and HIS bad luck to have such a watch to sell, as either he himself was sold a bad watch, or had inferior repairs made unwittingly under his ownership. Either way he needs to eat the costs to make his watch into the watch it was sold to be, to do the right thing by his buyer. There is no grey area here. He must take the loss as the cost of doing this type of business. He must certainly not try to recoup costs or worse make money on the deal by offering other deals. That is shameful.
