Final Update:

I had to pay the $95 for repair since their warranty states that the bezel is not included. They are shipping it back next Monday. As many of you have stated, it does suck when it happens to you. Hopefully, this will be the last issue for a while and I think that I will use my friend of the family jeweler from now on. He has done some repairs on my father in laws Rolex so I am would think he could help me just as well as authentic watches. Their warranty seems to be junk anyway so I am not nervous about getting him to open it anymore.

Either way, I do love the watch and if I were to buy another Bond watch from an AD, I would still change the bracelet to the non-bond version. It is a matter of preference I guess. My next watch will be a Speedy Pro from an AD. I could use one of those referrals...

I hope this thread opens a few eyes to those who are considering grey market watches.
