Omega no less! Last time i do that anyway, as it was furiously expensive and took about 15 weeks.
Oh dear :s feel a bit stupid going back a few months after getting it serviced!
But definately you can feel the edge of the bezel when you run your finger down the crystal on my one.
Evening Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have been having a look through my watches after a long time and thought i'd try on my 2254 seamaster.
Having not been worn since i got it serviced several months...
Ditto, i have one of them. It keeps cracking time despite not being COSC.
Would get alot more wrist time if it had proper water resistance!
I had a really nice (at the time) analog seiko chronograph when i was younger, was swimming in antigua and it fell off my wrist due to spring bar breaking!
This was on a bracelet and i spent next 2...
Sorry for not giving the price :oops:
I have offered 800 pounds
Morning,
I possibly have the offer of a Seamaster GMT black faced with all boxes, but no papers.
They are not sure of the age or service history, it seems to have the 'bond' bracelet with the...
I think a tony soprano-esque yellow gold rolex day-date is the only one i would consider. Even then i think you would still look like the director of trotter independent traders :D
I did lust after this one also, it is a cracker! A dangerous amount of nice watches for sale on here 8)
Excellent, so you will sell it to me for 500 Quid?? 8)
What kind of movement is in these things? They have a very old school seamaster look about them, which can only be a good thing!
I think you should cut your losses and sell it to me for 1800 :D
Definitely go for a reputable independent. I just got the call from my AD that my Seamaster is ready, only been 15 weeks :( BTW, that's a bog standard service and a popular watch....
LOL, I like it!
I think i shall have to find a good independent for next time.
Can anybody recommend a good horologist (i like that word!) in aberdeen or edinburgh??
God if my watch comes back not running in spec after 15+weeks im not going to be a happy man :evil:
I have barely heard a good word about them, rolex took around the same time, but i couldnt fault...
I hope its not some kind of misguided attempt by omega give to their servicing an air exclusivity "quality takes time" when in fact it shall just make me go to an independent service agent next time...
Should be like a pizza, if you dont get it on time its for free :D
Well, they said 10-12 weeks, then at 11 weeks they said it would be around 4-5 more weeks due to them having to order parts!
I find this very strange as this is a popular movement etc. Guy in the...
Thats me onto week 14 of Omega service now, after the ubiquitous "another 4 weeks" that seems to be talked of alot!
You'd think the service centre would have parts for a pretty common watch like the...
Well i think it got a good dousing in SOBM and water-based (which is nasty stuff...if you dont flush out the tools it will eat into monel :s)
I am metal bracelet all the way now, with the resulting...
Im not sure, i had a casio with a very similar strap for alot of years and it never seemed to fall apart like this one!
It is of a softer rubber compound. I was wearing it whilst at work (on an oil...
I found that the rubber bracelet (Z22?) that i had on my skx009 seiko only lasted 6 months before it become so perished that it almost split it 2 :shock:
Is this a common occurrence on this type of...
Im sure the smart money says go for the black bezel, but that orange one on the steel bracelet looks incredible :o
What price are these going for right now? That co-axial movement goes for 10 years...
