Noob question: Almost every watch for sale, whether on this forum, on ebay, or elsewhere, is accompanied with many standard photos.....including one or more of the watch's movement. The exception seems to be the Omega Ploprof 600. I'm sure there are others too, but why no movement photos for this watch? Thanks. Tom
That obvious huh? Guess it makes sense since a guy like me can't even open up simple watches! That being said, doesn't that put the buyer at a disadvantage likely causing he/she to pass? Seems no one on this forum would buy a vintage Speedmaster without seeing the movement, so why would folks take a leap on a Ploprof? Am I being too cynical? Thanks, Tom
The very fact that it is difficult translates into a well protected movement. And this is one watch where the absence of movement photos will likely not affect the value of the watch significantly.
MSN.......pardon me for one more question. Is it then correct to assume, since the back is rarely removed, that the question of the relevant serial number is a lost one? Unlikely known and too hard to verify? Is there a good/ fair way to approach w the seller....or is it just not important with these models? Appreciate your help.
This will give you an idea http://omega.watchprosite.com/show-...he-full-restoration-of-the-omega-600-ploprof/
http://www.ploprof.com/PloProf.html Probably less fancy of a design with cal. 1002, monoblock design hence only time to be able(wanting) to open it is during the servicing? And unless you are the watchmaker yourself, you can take the pics as you wish..
