Advice on serviced watch for sale

Hi,

I'm considering the purchase of a 2504.52 Railmaster... it was just recently serviced by Omega and during this service they replaced the hands. The original hands were returned with the watch. Would you have hesitation in purchasing a watch with some non original parts if they were replaced by the manufacturer? Does the fact that to og hands are included change anything? Any guidance and advice is much appreciated.

Thanks

The service hands are identical and indistinguishable from the originals so no it should not be considered a problem. It becomes a problem on watches made before 1997 which used an alternative lume material to that which is currently fitted.

As long as the seller is including the original hands with the watch it wouldn't bother me.
