The grail has been returned thanks to our members.

So a few weeks ago I purchased my grail Daytona while in Vegas. http://rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=181804

I was assured when I bought the watch it was 100% original from Tower of Jewels @ Paris Casino. http://www.towerofjewels.com/

After I purchased the watch Jagervegas warned me about a bad experience with the dealer (Tower of Jewels).

Well after the watch was shipped to me I posted some pics online and one of our astute members(thanks Kevin! (yessir69)) pointed out to me that my grail I just purchased was originally a two tone watch and not a stainless daytona. The dial has been replaced with a Mark 4 white dial, new bezel, and new bracelet. To be correct the ref number should have been a 16520, instead it was a 16523. The watch had been completely converted and sold to me as original.

It was my bad for not knowing more about watch but it was an impulse buy on vacation and I was assured it was legit. The watch was sold as 100% original and they even gave me an appraisal with the wrong reference numbers on it.

Long story short I called the dealer and informed them that the watch was grossly misrepresented and I wanted a full refund. They have a "no refund" policy but once I mentioned the words "chargeback" on my credit card they changed their tune.

Today the full credit posted back on my card .

I wanted to warn anyone traveling there to beware of this watch and these people. They claim that it was an oversight but who really knows. My guess is it's back for sale in the window waiting on another unsuspecting buyer.

It has been mentioned before to always buy the seller and it's can't be more true!

Thanks again to Jagervegas and yessir69 for giving me the heads up. I owe you guys a beer!

I hated returning a watch that I like so much but I'll find another one.
