Can't help but cringe every time I encounter one of these...
And to shell out nearly 2K for having your valuable vintage watch destroyed....

The original parts have probably already been sold for more than the watch is now worth, very sad

 

With no mention of the parts that Omega would have returned either...

 

Oh.... my.... lord.....

 

You know it is bad when the only part of the description which describes the physical condition of the watch is "The crystal still has the Omega watermark in the center"

 

And I bet the watchmaker was nice enough to "get rid of" the old parts!

 

OF needs a NSFW feature. This is horrific.

What a terrible shame. Apart from everything else, I really don't like to see, thin tubed, service pushers on this reference. Kills the charm 'stone dead'.

The bit that made me smile was the 3 people watching.

 

¨$1970 ? quite a bargain for such a terrific job
Poor little watch...

 

"Takes off bezel and replace for 300"
"Sells removed bezel for $$$$"

Man...

 

I can't see the problem?
It looks just like my Speedmaster 3570.50, but just a bit shinier.

 

Yowzers! The intolerable sight aside, that price also belongs here https://omegaforums.net/threads/wis...hat-have-unrealistic-price-expectations.7766/

 

Is it me or the dial is damaged on the seconds subdial?

 

A photo of the shiny object that is causing so much offence. It isn't even the correct JB Champion bracelet.


What it may have previously looked liked prior to the service.

 

I would happily sell my 105.012 for that price

 

That is a travesty.

Also, $248 for shipping??? What, is he going to do, charter a plane?

 

So who is gonna message him and say "With the BIN price you have on this watch, I assume all original parts that were removed are included and can be replaced on the watch, since your $1900 service destroyed about $7K in value". I mean seriously what is it worth at this point? $4 or 5K? How low does the price have to be for it to be worth purchasing?
