Just proves that you need to do your homework before you buy watches or trust anybody. Having more money than brains doesn't mean you make any fewer mistakes than the rest of us. It just means that when you bitch about the mistakes your voice is louder...and we have to listen to the whining.

I am not taking sides here in the argument over whether the dealer intentionally deceived or whether the buyer is just having remorse. Do your homework and you will have much less chance of getting screwed. Even so, be prepared to make mistakes.
