What would you do, OSC polished 3570.50 case

The only thing I really want people to agree with, is to let people make their own decisions for their own reasons. If is something you find unacceptable, so be it.

Not sure how I can make it any clearer - this really isn't about polishing...it's about holding companies accountable for what they do.

I didn't say that you said they did him a favour - that was someone else.

The quality of polishing from Omega varies widely (I have seen some truly awful examples), and in this case they did "dull" the edges.

What "average punters" feel they need to do or not do really isn't yours to decide. It's interesting that people who decry the group think surrounding polishing, push back with their own form of group think when it comes to modern watches (that will some day be vintage).

Let people decide what they want for their own reasons.

@Omegafanman In my case, I feel like Omega has treated me pretty well. They made a mistake. They are going to take care of it. I'm not being charged.

I once had a Richemont-family watch that had major problems days after purchase (busted movement, busted strap) that took a lot longer to sort out. So in comparison this went amazingly well.

FYI. The did also provide a bag with the original parts that were replaced, too (e.g., mainspring).

If I had wanted a polish, I do feel like they did a pretty good job; it didn't suck. It just left evidence that it had been done (edge work).

In terms of how this happens, the folks at the boutique said that there were ~12 watches that got mistakenly polished. They believe that a cart with the watches was rolled over to the polishing station by mistake. -just sharing what I was told.

They are going to have a new case made with the correct serial number. Timing? They guessed a couple of months.

Thanks, again!

Low-background steel is any steel produced prior to the detonation of the first nuclear bombs in the 1940s and 1950s. Typically sourced from shipwrecks and other steel artifacts…..
What if there is some modern contaminate or event which has registered in steel produced after 2015…. When was the steel for the new case made/when was the new case made and with what tooling (you can get steel contamination from tooling). Was the steel mix the same in all case cases - are some more resistant or harder -has there been any variations. When was the steel made for the original case and when/were was the case machined. Have all been from the same plant with the same tolerances. An original (even if polished) 2014 case might turn out to be a good year…..
