1234_cool_uncle,
I apologize if my comments came across as harsh or rude. I understand you are upset, but this is not how we do business here at RWI. This is a community forum of like-minded members. As such, it has established norms about how we transact with each other. These are not "rules" (most of them anyway), but they are commonly accepted.
You are new here, and I'm sorry for the somewhat harsh welcome, at least for my part of it. Nevertheless, when you enter a new place, it's wise to adopt the local customs, not force yours upon the locals. Of course, that's a metaphor.
There is a way of doing things here, and you have broken 2 two of those customs. (1) You should not have immediately resorted to a call-out thread. Next time, please go through the Mod on the For Sale forum. (2) Sneed it right: you ship the watch back, then Watchfaker refunds your money (if that's the relief you choose). If you buy from another member, the risk of customs is always on the buyer. This is how we do business here. If you don't like it, I don't know what to tell you.
If you stick to our way of doing things, people will be glad to help you. As an example, look how generous RSH has been, even when he had no need to be. This is not the Wild West. We look out for our online friends here, and we don't suffer crooks or scammers...at all. The Admins, Owners, and Mods here are great, and they make sure the members are top notch, and behaving themselves.
If a member really did scam you, he would not be welcomed back by the mods. Hardly any member, let alone someone who has been here a long, long time, would risk their continued membership over one watch.
My point is, that you can trust the members and mods here. If there is a problem, the mods will help clear it up. If you do things the right way, you'll be fine. And yes, there is always the chance that you'll get burned once or twice. This is replica watches, after all.
The alternative, as Sneed pointed out, is to have one $5,000 gen watch. But where is the variety and fun in that? Overall, you need to accept that we have a way of doing things here, and stick to that way. You also need to calm down, and not go from "0 to nuclear" so quickly. You'll notice that while some members do agree with you, and are sticking up for you, there are equally as many members who were offended and/or annoyed at how you've been handling this situation.
Please take this to heart, and you'll have a great time enjoying the hobby here.
EDIT: looks like you guys reached an agreement. Good.
