mrchrischen left a sour taste in my mouth after a trade deal

Some of you might have seen a recent thread in Who's Who (which has now been deleted by mods) where Chris expressed his unhappiness about a trade deal him and I have completed, even though he never expressed those feelings to me directly AND proposed the resolution to our 'issue' himself to begin with.

Cliff notes are:

I shipped him a GMT-c and took in a trade-in 16710 GMT + cash.
Initially everything was fine, then he texted me saying the GMT-c had a scratch on crystal. I didn't notice this scratch when the watch was being shipped, but agreed to it and offered to make a resolution.
HIS proposed solution (even though I offered to reverse the deal completely) was that I cover the $250 cost of a OEM crystal from Rolex and he pays the apparent $100 labor.
Done deal, I sent him the $250 (again, going in his favor and sending it as PayPal and paying the fees myself)
He says thanks and we go our ways (or so I thought)
Then I see a post about him being unhappy with our transaction all of sudden and how he had to pay the $100.
I thought I responded in a very accommodating (yet shocked) manner and sent him the $100 at that point as to 'make it right'
He then 'came to senses and got a good night's sleep' and retracted his comments and had the thread deleted.

Now, it is absolutely not any of my business whatsoever as to what a buyer of mine does with the watch they buy. For all I care, you can strap it to a rocket and send it off to space. Nevertheless, I scan the FS section the very next morning and see the watch is up for sale, so I take a look. You can too: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=293333

So, remember, this is the guy who told me there is a scratch on crystal and wanted me to compensate for a new crystal at full retail and made my very first and completely out of line 'negative' feedback thread. However, NOW he describes this watch as, and I quote: "there is a smear (not a scratch)" on crystal.

That is deceiving and I feel like I have simply been nickeled and dimed on a deal.

This took a lot of thinking and rethinking on my part before I made the post, but I feel like I have the right to express my feelings.

To make it clear, I do not want to have a discussion with him.
I do not want compensation or action taken by him.

I DID want express how I feel about this whole deal and that I will NOT recommend anyone to deal with him nor would I ever deal with him again myself. There is good karma and bad, and I believe in both
