Hi guys,
I am in the market for an Omega 2531.80. Found one locally to me and one of the pics just doesnt sit right with me. Bear in mind I am new to all this, absolutely no experience with watches. Is this sag excessive or is it repairable in your opinion? Thanks a lot for the help. Oh yeah the watch is priced at 2300 euros.

Yes it is saggy and no it can’t be easily or cheaply repaired. Unless you fancy sending your bracelet to Michael Young in Hong King that is. Most 2531s will show some level of stretch in the fixed links but that is worse than many and its not super cheap. A new bracelet is over €800 last I looked so don’t risk it. You are right to be cautious. Keep looking.

Looking again, I think the first couple of links are damaged and not actually assembled tightly. Steer clear.
