Not so much the fact that there were worn out gaskets and that the watch had zero waterproof protection, or that any of the near 30 year old parts that need replacing. No, I was shocked because Rolex refused to repair it unless I would replace the COUNTERFEIT crystal on the watch first.
This is a business deal between 2 forum members and my opinion doesn't really matter. Where is this estimate that says counterfeit as claimed at? Are we to all bash a good forum member without proof? Let's wait until it is posted IMHO

Non Rolex it may be as they didn't make it to begin with IMHO . Counterfeit as claimed was not on the document. This explains to me why the buyer never posted a picture of the estimate that was claimed to have said counterfeit but according to you does not. My interest in this topic is over.[/QUOTE]
Nick
I offered Tony a fantastic deal and he turned it down for silly reasons
After I made him the deal of replacing all that needs replaced (the outside
parts never under warranty by anyone)... for only 450 instead of 1600 (?)
...and also that my guy with 30 years Rolex factory service experience
will give him full service
FREE of charge.
And all that ....for a dead battery (?)
So after I made him such an offer...
he writes a very nice email to me in which he invites me for coffee if I am ever in Montreal..?
Good morning again I thought about it I slept on it I called Rolex and the girl convinced me go ahead with the service it's very expensive at least I will have a 2 year guarantee and it's local.... again like I had told you it doesn't have to do with money.... take care you have a nice day and if you are ever in Montreal give me a call maybe we can meet face to face go for coffee.
Now I am contemplating to jump through hoops for him and offer
assistance.. although he says it is not about money.
Then the next day he gets together with his Rolex buddies and local experts
in how to authenticate a Rolex - and he writes
Hi Anastasio....I spoke to a couple of my buddies here in Montreal...crazy watch guys like myself....guys who love the hobby....one of them even has a popular website like the forums based in MTL....
I told them the whole case concerning the OQ I got from you and quite frankly they are saying that the watch you sold to me was misrepresented.....the watch was not 100% authentic.....this is the ultimate worst "news" a Rolex lover can ever hear.....
So his buddies were the appraisers who with ease said I misrepresented
the watch I sold a year ago...Also he wrote:....Read this... very important
gave Rolex Service Center the green light to service the watch
but I think it is only fair for you to PAY for the "counterfeit" crystal...195$plus taxes.
Anyways. The watch had a knockoff crystal (which is against forum policy)
Let me know...let's wrap this up as buddies and not have to resort to the FORUMS.....
So From lets go for coffee when you are in Montreal
After he talks to his friends who I am sure they told him
..
threaten Anastasio with "Forum" exposure ...FORUM..written with
capital letters.
From that moment onwards Nick
I saw red -.....after I offered my blood to him... he swings back
wanting to put fear in me ?
I repeat
his claim is malicious and the product of his buddies's bad advice
filled his head with innuendo and baseless accusations.
I know it is not him talking, ...only a crazy person one day invites you
for coffee in Montreal and the next day, after talking to his "experts"
comes back with the above "threat".
Especially when he has already given Rolex Canada the
go ahead to service the watch !
