Returning a watch to a trusted seller

[fania123]

Trusted sellers aren't budget rent a cars. One question, do you go to Bloomingdales and buy a shirt and wear it a few days before you decide to keep it? As others have said go to an AD try it on and if it sings to you then buy it from a trusted seller otherwise move on to the next piece. By you doing that the trusted seller may loose out on a potential sale. If you do choose this route then make sure the trusted seller agrees and you pick up both ways of shipping.

I thought I might have seen a little bit of spaghetti sauce between the links on the last PAM i tried on at the AD

Ha! I did not actually, but I did end up buying a different model. Obviously the stickers stayed on, but it was a nice way to get a feel for the size and weight. Sometimes just standing at the jewelery counter isn't enough.

Kind of agree...would also argue that kicking tires at your AD then buying from someone else might not be fair either. At least let the AD match the price....then if they aren't willing to, move on.
Also, do we overuse the term "trusted seller" on here? Just curious, really it's a grey market dealer. Trusted seller makes it sound like there is some sort of secret handshake involved.

Sorry OP, but I don't think you should try to get a trusted seller to send you a watch and then try it out for hours to make sure you like it.

Go to an AD, or better yet go to a bunch of different ADs (so you're not just wasting the time of a single AD) if you have to and try on the watch as many times as you need to be comfortable.
