Expert opinion on this Rolex dial and where do I stand now?

Yeah this is handy information. It can even apply if you use a CC to put a deposit on a property!

For vintage watches try www.theoldwatchshop.com or for more modern pieces try www.miltonaires.com.

Distance selling laws are also quite interesting and definitely offer a good level of protection in such instances.

I DID get all my money back in the end.

The company concerned were U.K. Specialist watches and are a complete bunch of crooks.

I was lucky enough to know a few very knowledgeable guys one of whom inspected the watch in person and said it was a 'bitsa' wrong dial, hands, case back stamped with incorrect year etc etc
I informed John the owner of the dealers of all this over the phone and his exact words were "we aren't vintage experts"
TBH it was a very stressful situation and the gentlemen was distressed on the phone over all the bad press he was receiving.
I did feel very bad until I saw he had relisted the watch with a different bezel and put it straight back on his site.

Does John of UK Specialist Watches frequent this forum ? What is his username ?
