·Hi everybody, I just got my first Omega and the watch looks in okay shape, I don't think it has been refurbished before. It came with a receipt and a box. My questions are:
It is a good idea to get it polished up? The front of the case is fairly scratched and I'd like to do that but I don't want to if it detracts from the watch ultimately.
Next I'd like to replace the glass as it is badly scratched - you may be able to see from the photos that it has a good few scratches but again I don't want to detract from the watch by doing anything stupid.
I have a reliable jeweller who can do the polishing, and have a watchmaker who is very experience who can service the watch for me. Both individuals are very trustworthy.
All advise welcome.
Apologies for the photos taken on an iPhone - I wanted to show how scratched the glass on the watch is.
By the way I'm thrilled to have an Omega - it's been a longtime ambition and I'm delighted to have found this forum to nurture my obsession.
