i have been in a similiar situation (granted not with such a high-priced
item), and the company who made the mistake issued a credit to my account as
soon as the received the item in the mail.  any reputable merchant would do
the same.

and face it, how many college students are going to pay $1000 for a watch,
when they can get one that tells time just as well for $20 from wal-mart?  i
don't ever plan on dropping my watch in the middle of the ocean, where the
1000 ft water resistance would come in handy, nor am i an avid diver, so the
helium escape valve is pretty useless.  i'll stick with my timex....
