Ebay is not so very very bad

[tonyfabro]

Long story short I bought a Root Beer 1675 from a guy who claimed it was 100% authentic and fully functional.

Got the watch today.

The bezel is stuck in place and does not move, the crystal is obviously aftermarket and has a terrible polish job.

Since I only had the watch two hours I figure the guy will be reasonable. I offered to pay for the return shipping as well.

His response was that he won't accept a return based on "Buyer's remorse" but offered to get the bezel fixed for $100 at Rolex NY....riiiiiight.

Oh and his reason for the broken bezel not being in the listing description was:

"I haven't turned the bezel in years!"

There's a lot of idiots out there.

I opened a case with paypal and they've put a hold on the funds.

The guy calls me up and tells me he has 32 rolexes and that I'm gonna lose the paypal case.

Word to the wise, if it seems too good to be true don't pull the trigger.

I'll be sticking to Local Dealers, TRF trusted sellers and Crown & Caliber from now on.
