I don't care whether it is allegedly difficult to identify an aftermarket crystal ... If the watch is being sold as an authentic Rolex, then that is the burden the seller bears, even if it means taking the entire watch apart. If the seller mistakenly tenders a watch with one or more aftermarket parts, he should pay to have those parts replaced with genuine, OEM parts. Period. End of story. No excuses accepted. This is why I urge caution when buying used, regardless of the seller's reputation. Here, that purportedly stellar reputation turned out to be about as valuable as Confederate currency.

What I mean is that it's impossible to be responsible for anything that looks correct but is not on examining it more closely
by disassembling it into its component parts. I might have serviced my watch at an independent watchmaker who then
installed wrong parts without providing information about this. Where should the responsibility lie as much in the buyer
that he examines it, he buys through to disassemble the watch into its component parts, I think.
Now I'm talking in general, then it's another thing how sellers and buyers solve their disputes.
This is the reason that my survivors will have to sell my watches. I would never bother with all this fuss about scratches
here and there, seconds here and there and I would never even be able to guarantee that everything is perfectly correct
with my watches. I guess there is a lot of watches floating around with wrong parts, today you can never be sure.
