Long story short, My dad gifted me his midsized omega watch he bought on ebay back in 2002. Massive problem is they threw away the box and took it to a grey market watch repair shop because no omega boutiques exist over there, the ******** watch dude swapped out the movements with a scratched out serial number movement forever blacklisting my watch from Omega, so I’m stuck with this watch no matter what, I can’t get it serviced at an OB so third party service forever, i recently got my local OB to order me a replacement bezel though haha.
IF my stepmom kept the box i could had easily given Omega my watch with the documents and they could had re engraved the serial number.
