I'm very new at Watch collecting and wanted your candid advice about a situation I find myself dealing with.
I was looking for a diver that was a bit unique and settled on a watchmaker outside of the US who also happens to have his own forum. We are talking reasonable price range of $300 and very shortly after delivery I started to get fogging and condensation under the crystal ( no submersion) when it started to get humid this past summer and sent the watch back for repair which was covered. I get it back today and the mineral crystal has several new scratches on it that for all I know happened with me shipping it overseas although I thought i packed it pretty well.
Frankly I'm kinda fed up at this point fueled by the fact that I've had plenty of cheap divers that never had a lick of problems in the past, have spent quite a bit in shipping already and now I'm seeing a few others online with similar fogging problems. So here's the dilemma.....I've not done enough transactions to know the rules of the road but my inclination is to send the watch back and hope to get a partial refund or some consideration toward a watch he carries from well known manufacturers. Is that unreasonable on my part and should I just eat it and count it as a valueable lesson. Brutal honesty in your responses encouraged :)
thanks boys
