1/5 Mike M. 5 years ago on Google
ebay
watch-head
purchase,
faulty
on
arrival.
Prolonged
refund
process
from
less-than-candid
seller
who
only
realised
they
had
sold
broken
Rolex
bracelet
parts
attached
to
sold
watch
when
refund
requested,
then
did
not
disclose
until
very
late
in
process.
Less
than
ethical
business
practice,
and
very
disappointed
by
service
from
a
supposedly
reputable
jeweller.
Later-after
11
months,
a
response
from
the
retailer!
About
as
good
as
their
after-sales
service.
The
reality
as
I
said
in
my
original
review
was
Harringtons
only
realised
that
the
watch-strap
parts
were
possibly
Rolex
AFTER
I
started
the
return
process.
They
attached
NO
value
to
those
parts
when
they
sold
the
watch
(
non-working
on
arrival,
please
note),
but
because
they
realised
their
error
they
insisted
these
scrap
parts
(
and
we
are
talking
a
couple
of
very
twisted
and
deformed
links
to
which
neither
I
,
nor
they,
attached
any
value
whatsoever
at
the
time
of
purchase)
be
returned
in
a
separate
package
to
Australia
from
the
UK.
I
only
removed
them
because
I
had
no
intention
of
retaining/using
them
,
and
when
a
return
became
the
only
option
did
not
include
them
to
save
on
return
postage
costs
to
be
fair
to
the
seller!
The
fact
that
I
did
not
bin
them
is
a
minor
miracle-and
I
am
an
experienced
watch
collector
of
many
decades
and
NEVER
throw
anything
away
I
can
reuse
or
has
any
intrinsic
value.
My
point
was
that
it
was
only
AFTER
the
watch
arrived
back
in
Australia
did
the
question
of
the
deformed
links
become
an
issue
,
and
my
refund
was
blocked.
However
it
was
not
until
I
pressed
Harringtons
did
the
REAL
reason
for
wanting
those
links
back
come
to
light.
If
they
had
been
up-front
with
this
at
the
beginning
there
would
have
been
no
problem
or
delay.
Sadly
the
seller
was
less
than
candid,
and
this
less-than-honest
approach
is
not
what
is
expected
of
a
reputable
jeweller.
I
bought
a
watch,
not
the
deformed
links
that
as
far
as
I
was
concerned
were
neither
use
nor
ornament.
The
fact
that
Harringtons
discovered
their
error
after
the
sale
suggests
that
they
did
not
want
to
disclose
their
error
in
the
very
mistaken
view
that
I
would
keep
the
defective
watch
since
the
Rolex
links
MIGHT
be
worth
more
than
the
watch
they
were
attached
to!
Their
reply
is
disengenuous
to
put
it
mildly,
and
someone
needs
to
take
a
serious
look
at
their
customer
relations
skills.
