This right here. It's about trust. Once someone pulls some sketchy stuff, that's it. What I see happening here is an unravelment of situations that are in no way favorable to the consumer, and not a singular situation. Even given the business as a whole is fairly unique. Putting all of this aside, there are some SOLID TDs. Mine, whom I work with is honest, to the point and sends quality stuff. If it shows up in his office and it sucks, he sends it back to the factory. The handoff would never even reach the customer. They're our segue to quality stuff, it didn't happen for our OP, and it should have. Just some slippery stuff going on, in my opinion. This individual situation could have been fixed by sending a new watch to the customer, and this probably wouldn't have gotten the attention it did. However, someone got caught and this is where the blame game starts. It's unfortunate and sad. I hope the best for all honest parties.
