AXO Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 I have a good friend who has a Gen Full Size Automatic Omega Seamaster 300 Chronometer (Jame Bond) who is thinking of selling it. He bought a Gen Rolex about 2 years ago and his Omega has been sitting in his watch box ever since. He said make a reasonable offer. The watch is about 5 - 8 years old and has no signs of wear except for the Bezel insert has faded alittle. My friend advised he had it serviced about 2 years ago. The watch has no box or papers, I was with him when he bought it so I know it is a Gen. My question is what is a reasonable offer and is it possible to have Omega replace the blue bezel. Thanks in advanced AXO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 I believe the Seamaster you are speaking of is the 2531.80? Box and paper examples seem to be around the $1250 to $1500 range. No B&P's sell for around $900 - $1000 it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AXO Posted June 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 I can pick it up for less then $1,000.00. So, I guess it is a done deal. I will be picking it up Monday. I will post Pics Monday Night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mapman57 Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 (edited) So....where are the pics? Hope that the deal went to plan..... Edited July 2, 2010 by PMMUTD68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXO Posted July 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 The deal went as planned. I am very pleased. The watch had some scratches that were easily removed with a buffing wheel The watch is very comfortable on the wrist. Unfortunately it has not gotten any wrist time since I received my Cubeistan Pam 187 the same day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 wasn't the bracelet and folding clasp supposed to be brushed and the small interlinks in between to be polished??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 polishing disks, sanding disks, emery paper, masking tape and 4 hours work, oh and a bit of experience helps too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 yep, that is the first thing I would do, the bracelet (as it should be) is very nice on the SMP. Completely polished makes it look off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AXO Posted July 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 FXR Andy your brushed job came out Awesome! I think I am going to stay Polished for now. It is actually easier to maintain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXO Posted July 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 The watch looks way better in person. I am a horrible photographer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimster Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 IMO these are the "dress" diver watch and I think the polish adds a touch of class. Goes well with the martini and not the wet suit! Wear it well@ Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
