·Let me know what you guys think on this.
To kick this off,
I sold a watch 1 year ago next month to a "Dealer" in Florida. It was a datejust 41. Box, Papers, Hang Tags, Stickers on the case (In some areas). As part of a trade for a 5508, the 5508 had tons of replaced parts, all not correct but I was fine with all that as part of the trade. The 5508 Was then sold to one of the best Vintage guys in Japan for parts (Again which im fine with). Now here are the facts to make a long story short, let me know what you guys think as this "Dealer" now wants me to take a return or "Knows people" and said he will some how report me for wire fraud and selling a "Fake watch" which is impossible.
I sent him my rolex dJ 41 first, Box, papers, stickers on the case (In some spots), Hang tags, Like new condition. We btw open up all cases before sending the watches the movement was confirmed 100 percent authentic as was everything else. He then confirmed he received the watch (Not sure what he did to inspect it or not) then sent me out the 5508 and in my opinion deal is done. I took all the risk sending mine first but that was the choice i made. Now fast forward a year later he calls me saying he sold the watch to another dealer and now the watch is fake. I said tell me what's fake, first he said the hang tag, i said no way its European and i have confirmed this with 3 other rolex dealers. So i say what else ? he says the case, i said give me an example he said he cant, i said ok give me another example he said the dial and hands, i then again sent the pictures to the same 3 dealers all said the same exact thing. Looks fine. I said send me a picture of the movement with the case open, he does the movement is 100 percent perfect. Now his last thing he says is fake is the bezel and its stainless. So now at this point im like im not taking a return for a couple of facts.
1. You had ample time before sending your watch to inspect mine and return.
2. you had the watch for over a year.
3. The watch now has left your hands and went to someone else.
I think in my opinon i am well within my rights to refuse a return at this point, at which point now the threats started from him. I was overly nice and said im sorry this is a year later and the watch has left your hands. i don't believe any dealer would take such a return. Let me know what you guys think. I want to avoid posting his information. Attached also find pictures of the movement.
