·I just picked up a newish Seamaster quartz on eBay. I overpayed but I wanted one that looked new. It wasn’t quite as nice as advertised, but it is damn close. I used to have a blue bond 300 but I always wanted the black. Anyway, I am back in the omega club!
Anyway, I have been looking for one of these for a while, as this is the best looking modern Seamaster in my eyes, and I wanted one in quartz because I wanted it to be a low hassle, accurate daily driver. However, is there any way to pick up a spare movement and set it aside for a rainy day just in case this quartz movement dries up in the future. I have read that many times they just throw away the movement and drop in a new one. Anyway, can I just buy a generic eta and keep it for the future? Or will these be serviceable forever?
