Watch rage

Yup - it's really hard to comprehend how pissed off, frustrated, and betrayed you can feel when this happens to YOU. It's isn't like having some nitwit cut you off on the road, and at least being able to have the satisfaction of flipping them off. You watch is broken and gone, and you're getting spoon fed B.S. and repair estimates from the jerks who took you for a ride in the first place, and you're pretty much helpless. With my own $3700 2296.80 disaster, I had gotten to the point that even if they offered me the fixed watch for FREE if it ever came back, I wouldn't take it for a variety of reasons. In really bad situations like these, the "pissoff" value of a bad gray market watch like this can even EXCEED the cost of the watch itself. Anybody considering trying to save a couple of hundred bucks should give this some serious thought!!
