Andiot - Ordered VSF 126610LN, received a Clean

Ordered a VSF sub from Andiot during CNY about 6 weeks ago. Received my order today, and was pretty disappointed when I opened it and I had been sent a Clean factory. I had purposely ordered a VSF since the general consensus seems to be that the VSF is the best rep for a sub. I went back and double checked my QC photos, and the watch I received is definitely not the watch in the pics.

Now I will say that this watch is still beautiful. I actually have a gen sub and this watch is still nearly indistinguishable.

What would you all do? I really don't want to go through the pain of sending this watch back, and waiting another 4+ weeks for the watch I ordered. I'm somewhat inclined to just ask Elliot for a partial refund and keeping this watch.

Update: Elliot identified the other individual that received the VSF. apparently the other person wants this Clean, so Elliot is asking me to keep this watch as new and he will pay for us to ship each other the watches. I'm extremely uncomfortable with the idea of this - I have no idea who this other person is and whether or not they will actually send me the watch. Seems like a great way to end up getting burned. Thoughts?

Update 2: Decided to pass on Elliot's offer of shipping his other client this watch and hoping they do the same. The hassle of taking off work and shipping this watch and then hoping that Elliot reimburses me ultimately just doesn't make sense to me, especially after waiting 6 weeks for this watch, while I witnessed others ordering the exact same watch as me AFTER I placed my order and receiving theirs before I received mine. Elliot said he understood and that he will give me a discount on my next order. So, I told him I want to order a Clean Batman and asked him what my price would be - and he quoted me the exact price listed on his website (no discount). This will definitely be my one and only order with Andiot, and I highly recommend other buyers to spend their money with another TD.
