Am I allowed to be furious? DD40 Scam!
Hi all thanks for reading.
So long story short, in July bought a DD40 in rose gold with chocolate baguette diamond face. Gorgeous watch and fell in love with it. I wear it daily and it brings me lots of pleasure. Bought from a local grey-market dealer. Couple of days after I bought it, I noticed a small "smudge" on one of the baguettes. Brushed it off and moved on. Today went to another dealer who looked at the smudge and said "it's a finger-print!" He showed me clearly the whorls of the fingerprint. Anyway, we tracked down the model number from the white tag and it turns out that my watch has had a face swap. It was orginally stardust or some rubbish colour. Cue panic and dismay. My questions: 1) Can I go back to dealer and give him a and try and get some money back? 2) How do I know the diamonds are real? Or the face indeed is Rolex original? 3) Will it affect resale value? Or should I lose the white tag? 4) Am I upset about nothing and a face swap is "business as usual"? 5) How should I clean the smudge? RSC? Myself? Any advice is very welcome. Sorry for going on a bit! (P.s. I can't get a picture that's worth uploading sorry. It's a very tiny smudge but still there!) |
