Hi Fellow watch collectors, i'm just putting this out there as i dont know what to do.
I'm having some issues with a new watch.
this is how it was when i got it.
I sent an email listing the issues 4 odd days later Nothing, i then contacted the reseller and shock suddenly i get a oh that's not good please send to our watch repair center (not back to OC).
Now i live in Australia so posting the watch back to the USA at my expense is not ideal and very costly.
So i Email them back can i just send the watch head no box no bracelet again crickets, so pissed of even more now i lodge a PayPal issue with the reseller and again within hours i get a reply From OC we are sorry bla bla.
Issue 2 is they over listed the cost of the watch on shipping i paid 809usd around 1036 AUD they listed that i paid 1130.37AUD this ended up costing me 230AUD in import Duty.
At this point the watch is tainted and i have lost interest in it so do i
A send it back and hope these incompetent fools can fix it or
B cut my loss and return the hole lot.
Does any one else have any experience with OC in this regard.
thanks

Re: oceancrawler
No personal experience with Ocean Crawler. And can't recall reading any Seiko-esque QC issues from them. But your problems are obvious.
I would suggest just returning the watch for your money back if possible. If not, try for a repair and then flip it. It sounds like you've lost all interest in keeping this watch, so best option is to minimize your losses.
Curious, who was the reseller?

Re: oceancrawler
I would simply return it for refund.

Re: oceancrawler
I had a similar quality problem with a small German watch brand.
I simply returned it (at my expense) for a refund and moved on.

Just my $0.02 USD as always.
Re: oceancrawler
