Sympathize with the difficulty you now have with that watch. Rethreading the case is what I would do if I was spending my own money.
I have figured out a lot in my years here. But I still have much to learn. However, lack of experience on my part would not be a burden on the seller if I never checked a watch I bought for almost 2 years...

Paul, RSC said case replacement is compulsory. If you get it rethreaded I am not sure if RSC would ever service this watch as the watch condition would be seen as altered. In these situations bear in mind you were already burdened by the seller's faulty item first before you burden him later on with anything else of yours. May be I am wrong here, thats why I said in my main post that I appreciate opinions like yours.
