·After a couple of years of searching I'm finally close to getting my holy grail watch (The Omega Moonphase Aventurine 311.30.44.32.01.001). This will potentially be my first pre-owned purchase, but at over £12k I would like to see OF counsel and advise on what I should be wary off.
The watch is held at pre-owned shop (so not a private sale). I've seen the watch (albeit in haste), but only saw a photo of the Warranty card. I was surprised to see the warranty card is dated 2021 from an OB in Russia. Surprised because I know it's an old discontinued model from Circa 2012/13. Is it possible that it's sat in the boutique for that long?
Any chance that the card could not be genuine? Does it matter that it's purchased from OB in Russia (I'm guessing it would still be under 5 year warranty if genuine). Again, I ask because some of the Russian OB's are not temporarily closed.
I will do a second view and will ask to inspect cards/box in more details, so any advise on what to look out for will be gratefully appreciated.
I know these are probably basic silly questions to most OF members, but after being scammed earlier this year (from private sale on here), naivety and a desire to get my holy grail easily kicks in. Thanks in advance!
