If it makes you feel any better, I purchased a watch from Topper. Through no fault of them, the watch had a dent in one of the non-removable links in the bracelet. You could clearly see the dent/defect was brushed, meaning it was truly a defect in the link during manufacturing and not a dent. I took it to the local boutique which has now shut down. They first told me I probably dented it myself. I said for one the dent is brushed , two it was towards the end of the link almost where it articulates with the next link, an area extremely difficult area to dent. I was then told they would not be handling the issue with Omega as the watch might not be authentic, I said this was purchased from a large well know Omega AD. Next I was told for all they know, I made a deal to buy a dented display model. I said well I can show you unboxing photos with the watch covered entirely in factory plastics, making it impossible to be a display. Long story short, the boutique does not want to help you if you have not purchased from them. They were extremely rude and accusatory. Topper ended up handling the issue.
