Once you know it’s used, it’s on you to satisfy yourself as to the condition prior to buying. Did you ask him if the watch had been polished? Did you get photos of the clasp and other areas? It’s on you to do this minimal research. Otherwise he only has to deliver you an authentic Rolex/the watch shown in the photos and as described objectively. Finally, I don’t know why you started another thread about this in Watchout. It’s really confusing.

Are you saying that the bar is low for Jared since he has been on the forum for a while? Sure the word “excellent” means different things to different people, but a poor polish job plus the watch failing the water proofing test is far from “excellent”. I agree the buyer of a watch needs to due some due diligence but a long time seller on TRF should not be taking advantage of a buyer. I am not saying he took advantage, but you must admit the stories are very different and at best confusing.
