So I think you are beat. I guess the only remaining question is whether the seller knew of tampering or defects when they sold you the watch. I think the TRF community would like to know of a "trusted seller" that is dealing in questionable merchandise.

Thanks for the responses dear gentlemen..

Yes, no way to verify what I did or what I didn't. So we are in an unfortunate situation where its one man's word against another man.

Sellers response initially when this was reported "In all honesty i am a watch dealer and buy and sell lots of watches. i bought this from another dealer with no history.I did however take it to my watchmaker who put it on a timing machine and said its within cosec specs and it didn’t need a service and was running fine" .

Later response from the seller where he tightens his argument further after more complaining from my side "The watch i will repeat was in working order when you bought it and even passed a water pressure test.". This is where I was bothered. If it passed pressure test, why was I not notified that straight away after I sent an E-mail to him informing that RSC found the watch was glued together. If you ever got the watch pressure tested, I think it will be the first detail you would want to pass on if the case stability/strength comes into question.

Yes, I would reveal the seller not because of any of my grievances but because I feel this forum needs to know issues between buyers and sellers. Will need to size up things on this rather than just pulling the trigger in haste.
