It is not about being a "retail buyer". The OP was fine with accepting $1900 for this watch. The issue is this bait and switch game they continuously play in order to get a further reduction on an already agreed upon price.

It would be one thing if they received the watch and the movement was damaged or the watch was simply not as described. A missing link, regulation, and light polish is obviously reaching here for anyone who knows a thing or two about watches. Honestly, it a kind of con played on rubes, for lack of a better word, who have no knowledge about a watch besides its ability to keep time.
