jerry rosewicz Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 My first post! You got a waterproof watch that keeps time. It has the Rolex "signature" see through crystal back What more could you ask for....maybe $140 refund? Well, at least your next purchase can only be better.

freddy333 Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Welcome and sorry to hear things did not work out better. Like they say, so close yet so far........ What I think people forget is how civilians see watches. To the average person, a Sub is a Sub is a Sub is a Sub. Most of us, if our memories are good & we are willing to be honest, would not have been able to tell the difference between the watch your friend got and the real thing back when we started out. So the odds of your friend coming back with anything even approaching a quality Sub rep are about as remote as the odds of a non wine connoisseur picking out a rare wine from hundreds of table quality strains while blindfolded (and being pitched at constantly by people who are trying to get her to buy their particular brand of bottled sludge). Not likely. You might have improved your chances for success (a bit) if you had taken the time to educate your friend on the specific details to look for that separate the cream of the crop from the kind of thing she ended up with. Of course, that assumes that your friend would be willing to learn and remember what you tell her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
