They’re not ‘sword’ hands, they are ‘dauphine’.

How do you do it “properly” if you don’t know what you’re doing? 🤔

I’m sorry to see insert is now broken.

These things always remind me of the YouTube video I saw of a bloke removing his...

If you want a Seiko crystal, why wouldn’t you just send the watch to Seiko?

Why on earth would you faff about trying to measure a screw, to buy off eBay, when you could walk into any decent AD, given them the bracelet code, and they’d either order it for a nominal charge, if...

You'd hope not as I doubt they'd know what they were looking at but...

Good points. The vast majority on watches on eBay will surely be out of warranty anyway.

I do wonder if eBay even realises what they are doing risks voiding any remaining guarantee or, as you say,...

Soz! :P

Omega's relentless tinkering with the AT design has only solidified my opinion that first teak dial with date surround, integrated crown guards, and all brushed bracelet, really was the...

If it took you looking through old posts to remember, I wouldn't call that true remorse and wouldn't worry about it!

I think it is dawning on the seller that this is a problem he will shortly have to be dealing with, i.e. re-selling a watch with void warranty. Even if he gets wound up, stand firm, stay polite, and...

Granted some watches have cleaner/clearer designs than others but a watch doesn't have a design fault or is "a failure of its sole purpose to tell time" if the wearer's eyesight has deteriorated! The...

Says who?

The steel Oyster bracelet with polished centre links (as on the 116710BLNR) will not fit...

Crappy company name (the double-entendre is not in the plus column), no prices on the website, favours the use of stupid forum nicknames for models, no info. about the company, only contact no. is a...

They’re a business not a charity.

They have a lot of overheads and every buy-in is a essentially punt, even if it is a Rolex.

There is no such think as a "mark 3". Any slight colour differences that may exist are production variance and IMO not worth chasing or paying a premium for.

What happens if you traded, cracked...

I have always liked the SMP line, but the latest version, whilst good looking, has lost something through Omega's incessant 'tweaks' to every model:

Don't be swayed by the "spirit of the forum" nonsense, there is nothing more thinly veiled and self-serving.

Your average eBay punter is willing to pay from £5.5k to nearly £6K, dealers are...

Thing is, the lume could drop out just removing the hands! For all the grief these owners give Rolex for quoting to replace knackered old parts, I doubt many would cut Rolex any slack if the lume did...

From here the lume in the hands appears to be cracked. I'd guess that'd why they've quoted "necessary".

If they did the work without replacing hands, as you have asked, and say a week after you...

Nice of them to clean it.

And?

Rolex will do things however they want to do things. As they do with literally everything else.

Amazingly narrow minded to call someone a fanboy simply for having legitimate points.

I’m not questioning or invalidating your opinions or experiences, just saying there are risks in performing...

So if you get what they are there for, why complain so hard about their reticence to mess about with damaged hands? Neither your average customer, or fanatical collector, will give a brand grace if...

If it makes you feel any better, I have a near identical mark in the same place on one of my lugs. Happened in equally unglamorous circumstances which made it all the more annoying. Watch was 3yrs...

It doesn’t matter what a guy in his shed will do for you, particularly where warranties on work are concerned.
But have you thought of the reasons why a watch company won’t do something like what...

I imagine it’s more likely paid for by the few watches they sell... the brand has something of a following.
