·Hello, as this is my first post I hope it's the right place for my question.
For as long as I can remember the only luxury watch that I’ve ever wanted to buy is the Speedmaster. For years and years I’ve wanted one, however as I’m just a normal guy that doesn’t have a lot of spare cash to save (or spend), the thought of being able to spend 4000 GBP on my dream watch has always seemed impossible, until now.
At the current rate of saving I should be able to get one within the next 16 to 20 weeks, but something has come along that could speed things up if the information, and my research is correct.
I’ve been offered a Seamaster Diver 300M Automatic 41.5 Chronograph Titanium / Blue / Bracelet – Reference:2298.80.00 (See Attached File)
As you can see from the picture it needs an insert for the damaged bezel, however, apart from that it looks in remarkably good condition for the year, which I think is around 1999, but I’m not sure!
The guy who I’d be buying it from is getting me a price for the bezel insert from a local jewellery/watch shop that has just fixed his speedy. He’s offered it to me for 1250 GBP because at that price he’s making money from it as he works in the jewellery trade, and acquired it as part of a deal.
I’ve been looking at the same watches on chrono24 and they seem to sell for around 2K upto 2400 GBP, so my question is this, at this price am I doing the right thing or not, if I buy it fix the bezel and sell it? The more I look at it the more I like it, so I might end up keeping it!
Thanks in advance
