I bought a brand new Super Avenger from one of my local AD's and that had some serious scratches inside the lugs, the AD positively assured me that the bracelet had never been swapped out on it so that only left one source for the scratches......................

It is just a watch.... I get any kind of watch all scratched up anyways.. If they do it it makes it all the easier for me to beat up on it.

Interesting point of view, but for me the key is if it's MY watch and I scratch it, then thats MY own doing : I sure all hell don't expect someone else, and especially not an alleged professional, to scratch MY property.

Where do you draw the line? Is it OK for someone to scratch your car because you know you are going to get stone chips on it? And while I agree it is "just a watch", depending on the model it may potentially cost a lot more than a family car. And besides, irrespective of the price, as far as im concerned it's about respect and care for others peoples property.

Just my opinion of course.

I guess I must consider myself lucky because my AD is a proven watchmaker and a great salesman as well.

He only has experienced personnel in his boutique and it shows.

Then again, he belongs to only the third generation handling his watch-shop. And the fourth generation is already in the starting blocks. It kinda has its advantages.

But it took me a dozen visits of ADs before I knew that he was the one.
