At least what you could have done was to highlight that you're not the first owner and buyer has to bear risks if parts are not original. If you'd done so, then it's the buyer's responsibility to make sure the parts are ok and take reasonable measures to ensure it. If he failed to so do, then it's not your problem. When we buy a watch of any value online, we buy the reputation of the seller...you've a reputation to upkeep and a responsibility to do the simplest and straightforward thing in this case but it's not happening.
I don't think offering $300 as a goodwill is a reasonable resolution. To begin with, the sale should be as transparent as possible but didn't happen..so where's the goodwill?
Even if the buyer in this case has been holding on to the watch for 15 days...what's your implication on this sentence? I don't understand what is OP is trying to achieve here? He's not asking you to pay for the repair cost but to take back the watch. May i know what's your loss? A watch with some non-original parts? You don't want it for the very exact same reason! Even if he wants you to pay for the costs, you can still be there at the service centre to verify that what he said was true, pay for it and then keep the omega as a final deal. In this case, you get an omega with "original parts", in good/better running condition, sell it again (new buyer and yourself) will have a peace of mind. I don't think a dishonest member will spend days of posting the updates of this case. He must be doing it out of frustrations and helplessness.
Turn the table around, if you're the buyer in similar situation, we'll offer the same advices and inputs.
I would like to think that we're not siding with any of you because we don't know you guys in person but we all aim to have a safe, and responsible forum for items to be transacted
