Mark of Time

Last April I purchased a watch from this vendor via Ebay for my husband’s birthday. It was especially important to me as it was a Borell watch — the identical watch that had been an heirloom from my mother-​in-​law which had been stolen, and I wanted to replace it for my husband.
When the watch arrived, it didn’t work.
I emailed Mark, the owner (Lecoutre on Ebay) and was assured that he would take it back and make any necessary repairs. I sent it back on my own dime. He sent it back to me again and it worked for several days and then stopped.
I emailed and called again and he told me that he had a few new watches of the same type that he was about to post on Ebay and I should select the one I wanted. I mailed the original back again — again on my own dime, and after a number of weeks received the «New» watch with the band from the original watch on it.
This one was over-​wound when we received it and doesn’t work.
He doesn’t return phone calls or emails.
Buyer beware!
I am stuck with a $ 300 broken watch that was supposed to be a great gift.
SHAME ON YOU MARK OF TIME.
