I'm sorry this happened to you, but you've gotta do better for a first post surely? Paragraphs help the reader understand what's going on
I didn’t really have a hard time following what happened. Nobel Prize-winning author José Saramago rarely used quotes to indicate dialogue and had sentences- forget about paragraphs- that went on for pages. He was a powerful and original writer. That was his style. Everyone is different.

I'll summarise as the OP is not for the faint hearted.

OP ordered a DJ from Chazingtime, as he's a noob he didn't notice that in the QC pics the watch isn't ticking.
He also didn't notice that the timegrapher is turned on but not running, that the red LED that is visible when a timegrapher is on pause has been covered up with a blob of Rodico and the customers order ref' number card.
Obviously when he received the watch it wasn't running - it wasn't running in his QC pics either. Chazingtime told him to ship it back to them - with all the risks that involved of lost/stolen/seized parcels the OP was obviously reluctant to do so.
OP then took the watch to a watchmaker, who when he opened it found a loose part which prevented the movement from running.
Chazingtime have claimed that the watch was running when they had it in their hands and they can not be responsible for the loose part the watchmaker found as it was not visible during the QC process. They have refused to compensate the OP in any way, washing their hands of the whole thing.

We can see below a non-running watch, as well as some Rodico which has inconveniently fallen on top of the LED - the ref' card obviously rushed over to catch it fearing the Rodico would slip and injure itself.

Seeing that timegrapher photo threw me right back to the time I went shopping in Shenzhen. I bought a small basket of lychees, and only the ones on top were real fruit - the rest was filled with stones at the bottom.

How is this not a scam?

Seriously??? They gave you 1/2 basket of rocks? Seriously??
Not quite - it was a top layer of lychees, followed by one or two layers of rocks, and the rest stuffed with newspaper…

Sadly, this wasn’t an isolated incident. Back then, most shops near the Hong Kong border control building pulled the same trick. OP's timegrapher photo brings all that back to mind.

I’m actually impressed the admins here caught that and are knowledgeable enough to recognize it.
I sure didn’t.

Makes me wonder why the TD would risk their spot here.
