Love the ROC, But why not try the classic 39mm 15300 too.

Thanks for posting Mark. I see what you mean. However, I don't think it looks too too big because the watch is just gorgeous! I think while it might be a tad big, it still looks great on you. I am personally not a big fan of the chrono so that's why I am more inclined towards the 15400. I think that you should send the chrono back since you already have a bitter taste in your mouth with the scratches.

Mark, if you can get your money back and move on. That watch is going to drive you crazy the more you continue to inspect it. I am sorry you are going through this.

It's just that it was advertised as unworn, BNIB, So I was expecting just that.

Agree here. 15400 looks great. I have the same wrist size as you and own the 15300. I think the dimensions are damn near perfect. I say this without ever trying the 15400 though...

Looks like the seller failed to meet his end of the bargain. To me if something is clearly advertised as BNIB, it should be BNIB with no imperfections. It's not like you bought a LNIB or Mint condition.

With that being said, I really think it's time for you to get you something else or get a huge cash back allowance from the seller to make up for the scratches/nicks. It's up to you and we are here for you.

Just remember, a new watch purchase should bring happiness and not sorrow, regrets or stress. Clearly you are not happy right now and I feel for you my friend.

Thank you Hal, I prefer a new watch to a cash allowance.

Seller has agreed to accept the return, so off it goes. Sad, because I really liked it.

I MUCH prefer the silver-dialed RO and think it looks perfect on your wrist. If you ask me this was a blessing in disguise. You already have the keeper out of the two.

I am happy the seller is accepting a return. I too would have found the watch unacceptable as 'BNIB'.

Thanks again, my friends! All's well that ends well!
And I must say, the seller was very amenable about it as well. Cudos to him!
