My First Omega

Let me tell you about my first Omega. Bought from an AD with a good rep. They didn't have the 2254.50 in stock so they sent for one from another of thier stores. I went back when it came in and was met by the salesoerson I had initially talked to. She brought out the watch opened the outer and inner boxes and handed me the watch to try on. It fit perfectly right out of the box. That should have set off an alarm in my head right there but I was just too eager to get that watch home. Well I took it home and later on showed it to a jeweler friend. He took a look at it and said this watch has been sized previously and possibly opened. Then he asked to show him everything it came with. He said there are 2 links missing and the factory seal has been removed from the caseback. I was a little bummed to say the least. Back to the AD I went with my new found knowledge. No way they said that is impossible we sell only new watches. I put the watch on the counter said I was calling my bank to stop payment.Then I left. Now this is a large jewelery store with locations all over for chrisakes. There was a message on my machine when I got home asking me to please come back to the store. I'm heading there within the next day or so. Any ideas on how to handle this? Thanks
