Would you accept this ???

[Dream99]

Definately return it and send recorded delivery to ensure "they get it" and cant say they did not.

On the flip side Mickey did raise a point with depends on how much you paid. If it was $2k or below then fine...

Good luck and keep us posted!

Never mind what you paid for it send it back asap condition is not like new
No way would i accept it

[crowncollection]

no if the description was like new, if it were mine i would at least get them to pay for a professional polish

[nauticajoe]

Geez....that's like new? I'm afraid to ask what mint looks like.

Hope it works out.

[honeybear]

That is unacceptable, and the condition nowhere justifies the term "like new." I hope you get a full refund.

[Rags]

That's BS. Send it back forthwith & never ever do business with them again. No way can you describe that watch as like new.

If you get a full refund things are good.

Humans make mistakes - I do.

[TopNotchChach]

i would be pissed.

The response received from the seller suggests that it was an honest (if foolish) mistake.
The proof will be when you have received a full refund.

Unfortunately 'long-distance' transactions often bring problems.
They are a last resort when you simply cannot get what you want locally.

[smartson]

I hope you didn't pay the 'like new' price!

[mikkolopez]

2012 THC huh? Even if I wear that watch for at least 6 months straight, I could never get it scratched like that. So no I won't be the least bit happy with that. It looked to me like it has gone thru some tough times.

I'd say chase them up and they fix it up for you. Either they give you the black (and hopefully like new) dialled that he claims or full refund.

Hopefully the seller is on the up-and-up regarding making good the deal. Maybe he truly did make a mistake. Otherwise completely unacceptable.

Good luck!

I would strongly recommend that you insist on a full refund.

Here in US the equivalent of 120€ would get a good polish done...

[kenthek]

you got took - sorry to hear that liekwas said you can acpcet soem scratches when epxected but not on an item represented "as new" - return it or get compensation for a well worn watch

[bp1983]

what would that condition be described as? good? bad? like how should the seller have communicated it just curious? it is not close to like new more like, like used for 10 years lol

[bp1983]

what if the seller refuses to return? and did he send you pictures?

[Z-Sub]

Definitely not like new.

Did you get a few pictures from the seller? How did you pay for it? Hope it works out.

[btinl]

not a chance. return it

It would seem that not many read post 29.

The seller made a mistake and described the wrong watch.
He said he will fix his mistake.

[bp1983]

is there a guide or guideline to show how to describe a used watch you are selling? to some people like new might be one thing compared to another persons like new,,,how do you describe it fairly because sometimes pictures dont tell the full story? any thoughts?

[bp1983]

what would that condition be described as? good? bad? like how should the seller have communicated it just curious? any thoughts on this? how would one decide how to describe the condition of the watch,,one persons like new may differ from anothers persons how would one describe the watch fairly?

[mvp1222]

Not sure what the forum members think of PayPal, but I always use PayPal when possible. In fact I prefer it over credit card and definitely over bank transfer. You usually have to shell out the extra 3% but you are 100% covered by PayPal for ALL transactions. That way as long as you send it back via trackable means you are covered for the entire transaction. Just my $.02.

[Cru Jones]

fingers crossed that all end's well. what a wild ride this must have been for you.

I think we can all agree that the watch in question isn't in like new condition. As for describing watches in general, I think it is best to be as detailed on your description as possible, state what the blemishes are and how severe they are.
