Who has eyes for Omega too?

[Darkangel]

hi guys, can u help me in this issue ?

I am all along thinking of buying a pre-owned omega seamaster chrnometer. Today in the afternoon, i went PPC to browse ard and there's 1 shop called GMT something... under Marc Brokerage, it is carrying the model.

I enquired abt it and they cant tell me the age of the watch. Do u think its unprofessional ? I looked at the watch and the design is the same with the current model, although i have to be sure by looking at the new model again.

Lastly, they quoted me $1800. Do u all think its a good price ? Can still bargain down ? The condition is not 100% but looks quite ok.

Plse help me as i am looking to get a seamaster for daily wear. Thanks in advance !

There is always room for bargaining for any price which the person quotes you,anyway they still make a profit wad. Haha...

Depends on you la...try pushing all the way to $1.5k lor...and does it come with full set?

read that a not-fully wound watch will run faster because of the looser spring. Maybe i spend 1 hour shaking my watch .....

thought of it too. Worry that the service centre will "chop my carrot" by suggesting for expensive part replacement. May end up footing high bill for a pre-owned watch.

"15 sec faster for 24 hours" looks like a problem which cannot be ignored. I will check with Omega later this week ...

they will not proceed with the replacement w/ ur permission, but of coz there will still be a basic fee needed.

Ya.... think that diff is pretty significant... u sld go n check

Tink the service center can quote you the price first before commencing with the service right...

u might want to bring it to omega service centre to have a peice of mind?

Got a pre-owned omega seamaster. This morning I synchronise it with my 2 other quartz (Hamilton Khaki & Seiko Kinetic). After 12 hour, my Omega is 6~7 seconds faster than the 2 watches which remains synchronised. My omega is running on Calibre 1151.

Is this normal ? Do frequent wearing correct the problems ?
