EDIT: I've picked up the watch. This one has wayyyyy less marks and imperfections. Bezel has a nice tight action with no play. The clasp is nice and tight. Spring bars feel solid. It feels a lot newer than the first one they sold me. Most importantly, this one doesn't have a lingering metallic odour that the first one does.
Hope the AD included a free bottle of Febreze for the inconvenience!
The above implies there were still some marks and imperfections, was that the case? If so, why settle for that on what should be a brand new watch? Just curious.
The only time I would accept a new watch that wasn't pristine to my natural eye would be if it came with a suitable discount to reflect that.
Glad it was taken care of to your satisfaction. I'd like to buy a new watch this year and am hoping it goes smoothly.
Ref. 210.30.42.20.10.001. The novelty green Seamaster 300m
On the rubber strap, its looking like the best of the bunch (tied in first place with the white one). It looks epic. Also love that they dropped the red tip on the seconds hand and the red Seamaster logo. With everything white it looks really clean against the green.
