The seller's rant in this thread, as well as the discussion contained in the companion thread, speaks volumes and should motivate folks to exercise caution when dealing with trusted sellers. Contrary to what may be a popular belief here on TRF, things can and do go wrong with transactions involving trusted sellers ... and it's threads like these which expose the soft underbelly of that industry. So, kudos to the OP buyer who had the guts to stand up for what was right ... an undisclosed aftermarket part is unacceptable, and attempting to "make it right" by offering to buy back the watch at a large profit is inappropriate. That is true regardless of whether the buyer is a newbie or a grizzled, watch veteran.
