hi all,
just an update on the conclusion of the 6694 silver dial i acquired from a fellow forum memberrecently.
i eventually paid 2200 for the watch complete with box(original inner and outer box) & papers. some of you may know that i purchased another 6694 previously @ 2200 from another member.
only difference was the previous watch comes serviced and all in good condition. an authentication from RSC indicated that the watch is original and no servicing is required. according to RSC, the current one acquired is
1) in need of servicing
2) minute hand has to be replaced as it was bent.
3) one of the pins in the bracelet is broken
4) crystal is cracked
:
:
total repair and servicing cost - $615.
called the seller. seller agreed to replace minute hand and extra links. items will be mailed over.
i suggested to meet in town as i stay and work east, however seller wanted me to go to sun plaza to collect instead.
few days later the items arrived wrapped in contained properly.
however, link provided is slightly scratched. replacement hands lum is in wrong color. black instead of gray.
decided not to get back to seller because i expected a PROFESSIONAL seller to know the products being sold and provide the RIGHT replacement. this was because all the communication was done on the day itself.
i stressed that it is my choice not to get back to seller to seek alternative replacement, as im pretty tied up with work this week and not sure if i got the time to meet the seller. at one stage, i even thought of asking for refund.
, but too late liao.
my advice/thoughts for those embarking on the journey to collect 6694
1) when you collect watch and before handing over the cash, inspect the watch carefully. if you DO NOT like the condition of the watch, do not buy. REMEMBER that the moment you hand over the cash, buyer DOES NOT HAVE the right to ask for refund or money back.
2) after the repair, this watch would have cost me about 2500. which is a tad high a price to pay for a 6694. do remember that aftermarket dial of 6694 without box and papers can be secured between 1200-1600. so if a proper serviced is done it would cost about 300. add in box and papers, 2200-2300 should be a reasonable price *IMHO*
now that i have 2, should i embark on the journey to collect another 2 more color dials aka the black and blue?
