In my experience as a seller on eBay I can say that the buyer do not have to have a reason to return a product. It happen me several times and all that they said it "was not as expected" . The bad part for me was, that I also had to pay for the return although I specified in the listing that the buyer pay in case of return. Some strange rules on eBay and I do not use it anymore.

and to think that as mentioned all of this info could have been provided regards the dubious construction of this watch before a single penny was handed over....

it's a process, i doubt there are many of us who haven't looked before they leapt and bought something with more emotion than logic making the buy decision , and to be honest i think it's almost necessary when beginning to collect anything, if you make a mistake and learn from it, it sharpens the senses to exercise more caution with future purchases, but do learn, a lot of good info on this forum, i bet there isn't a single Tour de France winner who has never fallen off his bike, don't worry about the sniffy comments there'll always be those types

Cal 562 is definitely not a chronometer. See: http://ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?13&ranfft&0&2uswk&Omega_562

It is reputed that there are cal562 chronometers because they are listed as such in Omega's records.

However, despite repeated requests, no-one on the forum has posted a chronometer-rated cal562.

Except from Omega's full list of calibres

As a general rule - If a Connie (of any reference) has a cal 562 movt - it's best to assume it is wrong unless it is accompanied with an extract stating it is chronometer rated.
But as I said, no-one has ever presented a cal562 as a bona-fide chronometer rated movt - and if the members of OF don't have one, then they either don't exist or are as rare as hen's teeth.

From ranfft:

I don't know how to interpret that. In particular the "after Omega".

You know this has all been discussed here in detail previously.

I will reiterate that the movement is the least of the problems with OPs watch.

I stand corrected and humbled, the issue is not so clear cut.
