I can decline the watch at any point. If I accept it, it'll be sent to me sealed.

This is far from an ideal way of buying a watch, but I believe that in the end, I'll have an unquestionably authentic watch in freshly serviced condition.

If there is a flaw to my logic, please let me know.

I might be in the minority here but it’s impossible for a company like Phigora to be an expert on every dial configuration on all of the hundreds of watches they sell through there. It seems like they’ve gone above and beyond on this and will likely lose money on this watch after paying for service.
