Derek, I'm certainly not defending their actions. I'm new to this watch game, and watches are expensive. Through my research, I am only attempting to learn about the industry, and possibly find a way to purchase a desired watch at a better price. The only watch I have purchased so far, my Seamaster, was purchased through an authorized jeweler. I no more want a defaced product than the next guy. I want everthing that supposed to come with it, warranty included. Again, thanks for the info, it only increases my knowledge. By the way, great site.
