Well, I’d like to thank everyone for all the enlightenment I’ve received.
I plan on contacting my vendor and offering to pay for return shipping if he repairs the bezel.
I wasn’t aware that it was common practice for the buyer to pay shipping both ways when the dealer had specifically stated that he would pay return shipping.
I thought it deceptive to demand money for shipping after he had me send the watch back to him for the agreed upon repair.

Holier than now? I don't think so. The unrealistic expectations that people have nowadays are getting out of control. And if we don't make sure they understand what to expect then we are being remiss. If you want to buy a watch from China that costs 5% of the gen then you need to accept the fact that perfection is not in the equation. At the very best it is a rareity. If you want every little thing perfect then you need to spend the 10k and buy a gen.
I just wanted a wearable watch.
I didn't think that was an unrealistic expectation.
The reason you feel that these unrealistic expectations are getting out of control would probably be from that fact that they are not unrealistic to most.

Regarding the 7750. We work hard as a community to provide the information for people. There's no way he didn't know about the problems. That is of course assuming he bothered to do any research. If he didn't then I'm not going to feel sympathy. It's been out there for months and months. Long before he ever joined and made his six posts. Four of which are in a complaint thread. But I said the dealer should work with him. The watch seems to be running fine now though.
There are many conflicting posts about the 7750....some state that the low beat are not good but the high beat are. Some state problems with the high beat also but not to the extent of the low beat. Some state that they have bought many 7750's without a problem ever.
I never mentioned my problem to the vendor regarding the 7750 and I have no intention of doing so, as I stated I am planning on having it serviced as it seems to work fine (as long as I keep wearing it) an hour or so of taking it off and it seems to lose time or just stop.

My problem with him was that he threatened to do a chargeback over a pearl claiming tha watch was 'falling apart'. The pearl has nothing to do with the overall construction of the watch. That's like trying to return a car to the dealer saying it's falling apart because the radio knob came loose. I said it before and I will say it agian. That's ridiculous. If he wants to take it as condescending then so be it. But his response that I don't have a clue how the hobby should work clearly indicates he knows far more than me.
I threatened to do a chargeback because I felt my vendor stonewalled me with "Just pay more and fix it yourself". I did not, and still don't think this is acceptable for a new item. And regardless of your definition of the over all construction of a watch.....parts falling off is falling apart. Ah, Er....or is it falling apart is parts falling off!.....Oh what ever you know what I mean!

Whoa Nelly....I never stated that. I never said you had no clue about how this hobby should work. Your reaching for a reason to be angry now. I said, let me clue you in, and that was in reference to general supply and demand. I'm still amazed as how little regard most have for their own hard earned dollars. But I accept that, that's the way it is with this hobby.

Sad part is I probably would have sent him an insert FOR FREE just to help him out.
Ya know, I just got a private message from another member here and one of the things I stated in response to him was that if I buy more reps I would probably try buying from one of the 3 names that kept being mentioned......Hont, D4M, or...... LOL ......you, as you all seem to have the best reputations as far as concern for the customer. I also stated that I don't know if that would be possible at this point because with this thread I've probably vilified myself and could be considered an unsatisfiable pariah.

But if the pearl fell out on it he'd probably start a complaint thread about me.
Do not be presumptuous, this is way too much work for me.....I assure you, I'd just pick up the phone and have you shot!
