: Let me tell you about my first Omega. Bought
: from an AD with a good rep. They didn't have
: the 2254.50 in stock so they sent for one
: from another of thier stores. I went back
: when it came in and was met by the
: salesoerson I had initially talked to. She
: brought out the watch opened the outer and
: inner boxes and handed me the watch to try
: on. It fit perfectly right out of the box.
: That should have set off an alarm in my head
: right there but I was just too eager to get
: that watch home. Well I took it home and
: later on showed it to a jeweler friend. He
: took a look at it and said this watch has
: been sized previously and possibly opened.
: Then he asked to show him everything it came
: with. He said there are 2 links missing and
: the factory seal has been removed from the
: caseback. I was a little bummed to say the
: least. Back to the AD I went with my new
: found knowledge. No way they said that is
: impossible we sell only new watches. I put
: the watch on the counter said I was calling
: my bank to stop payment.Then I left. Now
: this is a large jewelery store with
: locations all over for chrisakes. There was
: a message on my machine when I got home
: asking me to please come back to the store.
: I'm heading there within the next day or so.
: Any ideas on how to handle this? Thanks
I certainly wouldn't accept the watch that you were given under any circumstances. If links are missing, they should have been included with the watch since they are YOUR property. If they can get you a brand new one and you're comfortable with that, then fine. Otherwise, as long as they have the watch and you have not paid for it (you stopped payment), then you are free to go to another AD to buy the watch.
