My fellow geeks, I have purchased 7 watches on RG from various members with excellent feedback over the last few months, more than 50% of them have undisclosed issues that will need to be fixed. After contacting the various members all to a man have said they did not notice the problems prior to listing and did not disclose these issues in the listings. The problems range from partially stripped screw down crown, chronograph not resetting correctly, loose minute hand, minute and hour hands not lined up correctly. I guess some of these issues could happen in transit particularly hands coming loose or not lined up, however all the items were packaged well except one. I find it hard to believe that prior to listing a watch for sale the seller, particularly RG Geeks on this forum, do not check all the functions to make sure their is no issues and if their are issues then please disclose them in the listing. We are all avid watch geeks and to say you did not notice any issues because you did not check all the functions prior to listing I find to be unacceptable.
I understand it is "Caveat Emptor" or "Let the Buyer Beware" but to have so many issues is really frustrating. In the past I have bought from dealers and also had issues with QC, is it just the nature of the Rep beast? Bro's your thoughts please, Mick.
