16710 with a damaged case from a Trusted seller here

[Vishy26]

[QUOTE=TempoKing;6988473]The way I see it...
is that you bought a used watch totally...
covered by the seller
I read the Return Policy...
All sales are final except if the item is not as described !!
You had 48 hours to check it and return it if it had problems.
end of story...the rest do not matter... and are suspect.



On technicality, seller wins this. Seller knows that, I know that and judging by the responses so far here, many here know that.

I put a man on spot, so I have to contend with the fact that I would become a suspect myself.

Further to that, please clarify if you are willing to on as to why you said "used watch" in your post.

Respectfully, it wasn't a technicality, it was a clear term of the sale. There were a few actually. All sales final, 48 hours return if not as described, and as is. It seems to have been as described, and it's certainly way beyond the 48 hours. I'm sure your word is good and things are as you say, but that doesn't change the terms of the sale that you accepted. Even if you discovered this right away, he could probably still not accept your return as it was sold as is, though I guess he might have considered it. I think those are common and reasonable terms of sale for these older watches. You can't know what's been done before and unless you're a a watch repair expert, with significant knowledge and experience, you can't guarantee it's all original, etc. Sometimes there's even disagreement about what's original and what's not among the experts.
I feel bad that happened to you. I'm in the market for an expensive pre owned watch myself at the moment. Fortunately mine has a display back so I will have the opportunity to see the movement without having to crack the case open, so that's one less thing I have to worry about.
Good luck with the repair.

Yes,it is Brian, terms like "sold as is" they are terms of sale and also are a technicality in the world of buying and selling, which I didn't pay attention to. As a buyer, I should have. As a result, chances of me gaining anything here diminished.But not everything is about money,right? Need to know what's right and what's wrong. I said it prior, this is not just about recriminations, if it enlightens certain right methods to potential buyers, it served its purpose
