As everyone knows, there are two sides to every story. The original accuser, TONI never could explain why it was a "fake." As everyone also knows there is heated controversy on whether or not WatchCo watches should be considered real. I did not misrepresent the watch I sold.

As far as Ez goes, I sold the watch to him over a year ago!!!! Now he comes to me and wants a refund. I have numerous references on many watch sites with very positive feedback including some partial refunds depending on the circumstances. Unfortunately I cannot guarantee this is even the same watch I sold.

One watch was lost in the mail, and the post office refunded the money, one watch got held up in customs to Canada one time, but it came back to me and I got it to the buyer and he was satisfied.

Those are some of my not so satisfied customers.

As with any business, if you have a concern with the product, immediate attention is required. I just cannot accept a return after more than a year has passed.

Here we have someone who paid to have what he claims is a fake watch serviced to the tune of several hundred dollars, without ever contacting me. Then a year later wants his money back.

I hope it doesn't detract people who would like to purchase a watch from me, as I said I clearly represent the watches I sell and have also worked with past buyers to satisfy them.

: As you and most all of us know, nobody wins in a situation such as
: this.
: Actually, everyone is a loser in a situation such as this.

: You have lost a good deal of money and although the seller of the
: watch, [name of SELLER redacted], may think he has come out on top, he is
: actually risking his reputation. (That is if he has a reputation
: to protect).
: A few thousand dollars is not even in the ball park when it comes
: to putting my reputation on the line.
: Actually, I can not think of anything worth risking my reputation
: over.

: As far as the watch you purchased, the Omega SM300 vintage 1600, it
: seemed to be an exceptionally low price in the first place, but
: not TOO low.

: I am fortunate enough to live just outside of San Francisco.
: Any or most of my jewelry or watch items can be easily verified
: down on Post Street or in the Financial District where many of
: the Old and New Jewelry and Watch Houses are still located.

: I also own a rare Omega watch and was able to take it to The House
: of Omega to have it verified.
: However, even if I didn't live near SF I would find a reputable and
: well known Appraiser, jeweler or watch dealer to either have the
: watch Appraised or at least verified as being authentic. Then of
: course include this information into my advertisement.

: If the seller is unable to provide documentation regarding the
: authenticity of the watch along with photos of the watch works,
: stamps and markings then you are essentially buying on the
: sellers word.

: I agree this person, [SELLER], appears to have
: mis-represented the Omega watch he ended up selling to you.

: If [SELLER] does not do the right thing by refunding your
: purchase price or make amends suitable to both parties then
: please look to see if Chroncentric.com has a buyer/seller
: protection policy such as Ebay does.

: I do not know if Chronocentric.com has any form of assistance in
: situations such as this or if this site is strictly buyer
: beware. It may be worth checking into if you have not already
: done so.

: Otherwise, This leaves you with the only option I can think of,
: that by alerting everyone here on the Chronocentric. com Website
: about the scrupulous dealings with [SELLER], as you have
: been doing.

: In the meantime, keep on doing what you're doing.

: Cheers, and all the best.

: Will
