Who has eyes for Omega too?

[chows99]

Hi all,

I am not referring to the unremovable scratch. I am asking about a preowned seamaster watch condition which is not pristine, like a bit dull, got some dirt, etc. Can servicing/polishing makes it regain the same condition like a new watch ?

Thanks guys.

and the bidding begins!

Is ongkmeng selling the Speedmaster in the first place? He may only wants to trade. Back to the offer again, I think $1K offer from a pre-own shop is really unacceptable. Think they trying to makan ongkmeng...

i bid, $1.11k

Looks to me that $450 is high as your watch look new. What is the problem with your watch & what did they change ?

Do they polished all the scratches away after servicing

i think some waterproofing things and some other parts, if not wrong, cost was 456... took 2months.

Ha... Ask them to go fly k###. 1K? I pay 1.1K, you sell to me better

i bid, $1.11k

most likely the scratch can't be removed as i believe they would have "touch up" the watch swee swee b4 they display it for sale.

gd thing is they r honest. personally, i won't take a gamble on removing the scratch. however, u may wanna find out the cost in replacing the bezel which should be add substantially to the cost. u might as well buy a new watch or wait for better pieces

Replacing the bezel? That will add cost to the pre-owned piece. Not cost effective then

Hi all,

once again, thanks for all ur inputs ! I think 3xtra n minusplus are true... the scratch bothers me n also if i make the scatch myself, it is okie as it shows the journey between the owner n the watch.

But my question is if is ent it for servicing n polishing, will it look as good as new ? Thanks !

But the shop owner already told you that the scratch can't be removed. it all depends on the extent of the scratch, as in how bad or deep it is. Certain dings or scratches can be easily removed during polishing. But the shop owner is honest in that some scratches can't be removed. So it's your choice...

if u can tahan the scratch at the bezel, get the watch.

otherwise be patient, there'll surely be something that catches your fancy bcoz from the way i see it, the scratch does bother u.

if not u will not post in forum to ask.

Bro, I think as a norm, for swiss watches, servicing starts from 10% of the watch retail price. Of course, it depends on whether any parts need to be changed.

Any senior forumer wants to confirm this?

Think I saw one for sale in Yahoo Auctions. Bro, very simple. Just call The Hour Glass and quote the model number. They will tell you what's the price of a new piece. 2K is a reasonable price. But make sure you get the watch authenticated since it does not come with box and papers
