: Ted: Enjoy your beautiful new watch! It has an
: Omega bracelet on an Omega watch, and you
: loved its looks before you thought it had
: the wrong bracelet. Who cares if that isn't
: the 'official' bracelet? The watch looks
: great, and is unique in the World! That
: bracelet will not diminish its trade-in
: value - if you ever were to trade it in -
: one iota. You probably got a good deal on
: the watch, so be satisfied with your
: purchase.
While it's true that some won't care whether a watch comes with its official bracelet, the majority of people (especially WISes) do. If you're going to try to sell that watch, its value actually may get hurt because of this. It is not a unique watch because, as I said in my first post, AuthenticWatches.com is known to do these kinds of things with their watches. Companies like these who swap parts and claim that the models are 'official' are wrong. How would you like it if you found out that the watch you purchased had swapped parts?
'Realistically' speaking, all that matters is if Ted enjoys his watch, but since he would prefer the 'original' Bond watch, I'd advise him to get a full refund and get the watch from a respectable and trustworthy AD (Ted, if you need any referrals, just ask.)
Personally, I prefer the good 'ol bracelet. (Comparable photos below between Ted's Omega and an 'official' watch).
