Thanks all for your input!
When you slap out that much money for something you expect it to be right first time! It's an absolute disgrace really!
However, one other question, has anyone else perhaps got their prestige fixed by someone other than Besson? Perhaps you brought to a repairman who replated it for you? Any ideas on cost and time to do it?
From my own experience with Besson, I ended up getting 3 different euphs, and in the end I eventually gave up and settled for the one I had, warts and all! I do have to wonder when a prestige comes back, is it only going to wind up being sent off again for something else?
