·Hello all,
I came across a Seamaster 2254.50 that has the full set except for the warranty card. It has the box, pictogram card and chronometer card. The watch even has the red dot on the case back, so it’s never been opened or refinished. Overall from what I can see is it’s in 99.9% excellent condition and looks hardly worn. Usually I like to buy a complete full set and this would be the first time doing otherwise. I’m buying it from a reseller so history of the watch is unknown, so there’s a possibility this could have been an old grey market watch or maybe it was honestly just misplaced - I’ll never know. But the price is excellent. Questions are:
- This is likely a 13 year old watch or so, so any warranty would have expired by now. Aside from making a full set, would the warranty card provide any further value in the future?
- Would you guys let the absence of a warranty card get in the way of a great deal on an otherwise near mint 2254.50 that’s never been opened or tampered with? What if you were looking to make this a keeper? Would the lack of a full set come in the way of that?
Omega did verify the serial number for me and it’s in their database, so I would get it serviced (not refinished) and get a 2 year warranty on top of it.
Thoughts?
Appreciate the feedback!
