··Melbourne AustraliaI’m still a little confused as to the original poster saying the dial had been redone, then arguing it had not been redone...
Don't see where the OP said that, he said the dial had been painted but I can't see where he said otherwise.
As to @Syrte making a terse reply:
terse
təːs/
adjective
- sparing in the use of words; abrupt.
Hi, A greeting
What do you mean by « just sent this watch »? A question
Did you buy it, sell it or both? A question
Not sure about what you characterize as unusual patterns. Unclear as to OPs words
However the dial is refinished, the crown is a replacement, and the gold plating is damaged. Stating an opinion, and gold filled is a form of plating so is an acceptable use for an "English second language" writer.
So its value as a collectable item is limited, gold plated and gold filled examples are not so rare, but the important thing is that like it and that you like its history. A summary (opinion) and encouraging with "the important thing is etc."
Best regards A closing salutation
S
Heavy handed? Unprofessional? Terse?
I hardly think so.
BTW, I'm not fighting her battles because she is a woman (she is quite capable of that I'm sure) but when I see her first response, and the drift that follows I'd just like to get some clarity back into the discussion.
Regards
Jim
