You bought it a week ago????
Seller page says 14 day return policy.
So many problems here.....
I have a small hunch that dropping it on the floor isn't what broke it,
and you may NOT want to invite the seller to read that you did so.
Having a hunch is no reason to be dishonest. In fact there's no justifiable reason to be dishonest. It's just really really unlucky that the OP dropped it as it gives a bad seller a get-out-of-jail-free card. I think the best you can try and do is get a partial refund given that it's a much less desirable movement than a 5100, not least because they're a pain in the ass to work on.
when I received the watch the crown wouldn't wind the watch or set the time but date function worked.
My suspicion (probably not correct in this case) was that there may have been something significantly wrong with the watch before it was dropped. Unfortunately, now that it's happened it's unlikely we'll ever know for sure.
The buyer noted serious problems (unrelated to the movement's identity) upon receipt. It's unclear if they were ever resolved, or how they were resolved.
I'm not advocating dishonesty here: just trying to puzzle out what happened re:
Possibly the buyer is at fault. Possibly the seller. Possibly some of each. Was the watch only partly working when it was dropped? If so might the buyer not be fully responsible for the failure?
Re: movement
The seller might be ignorant, or confused, or mistaken, or might be dishonest.
Or something else. I'm wary of the whole deal.

Probably shouldn't have cause he's claiming I'm scamming him it's bull crap. It was sent out in "working" order so it's all to shit the day it left. The crown was shit when the watch arrived it wouldn't do anything besides change the date. Then I dropped it which was my fault but still if it where a Omega or Rolex it'd still work.
The watch dropping 1 foot to the floor aside, warranties are supposed to cover things that stop working after they leave the seller's possession. This watch was non-functional when you received it. It's not supposed to matter that it was allegedly working when shipped. No way the seller can prove that. What is supposed to matter is that it was clearly NOT working within the warranted period after arrival.
Seller is clearly not going to cooperate at this point, so you might have little to no recourse. Hope you can salvage something from it. I'm not convinced they were intentionally scamming you by sending an incorrect AND broken watch, but it does seem like a strong, regrettable possibility. Sorry, man.
