Folks I bought this from Mick a few weeks ago with the intention of gifting it to my Son.
Watch greed set in and he has since been passed my B&R in an effort to keep my cool stuff :P
Then I bought 2 more watches and now I want an Arnie so to keep my wife on side and to stay "within the rules" of 1 in, 1 out!
I'm going to let this one go.
I'm not going to list it elsewhere in the hope that a boardsie can take advantage of the generosity Mick showed me when I purchased.
€150 delivered within Ireland.
Rather than take new photos, I've reused Mick's as other than being tried on its unworn.
Happy to take any photos needed tho.micks_address wrote: »Hi folks,
I bought this hard to find discontinued Seiko quartz Chrono to ease my itch for an omega speedmaster.
Roll on a few days and Ive bought the speedmaster and this is delivered. It's lovely and in mint new condition.
I've 200 euro in it but would let it go a little less.
Any interest let me know. I might pop up on adverts tomorrow.

Would you consider a Two tone bluesy? You could pull off two tone and they striking watches.
Very much dislike even the idea of a two tone
Points taken on the Yachtmaster. I sure won't buy one until I've tried one on. But I do seem to like slightly left of field models from Rolex, my favourites at this point are the Z-Blue Milgauss and the blue Yachtmaster.
I am not particularly careful with my watches - a watch needs to be worn and not babied is my motto, I'm the same with cars - and I have scratched metal bezels before. The safer model would be a ceramic sub (and I believe the older Yachtmaster does not have the glidelock clasp?). But I guess worst case scenario is send it to Rolex for a service for what, like €800? And it will come back brand new. This would always be an option when reselling and I guess the reason why you never really see a badly worn Rolex for sale at a big discount?My ads on adverts.ie

yachtmaster bezel can only take so much punishment before it's replacement rather than refurb I believe
Then it's mega bucks as it's platinum0 -

nope
Price for a service is price for a movement service and a best as possible refurb
Any new part is an extra charge
I've heard conflicting views on this. But obviously I have no experience with this myself. Anyone else care to share their experience with Rolex service and replacement of parts?
Perhaps going a bit too far off topic here but I just watched this again. I'd agree with all his reasons for liking it but I take exception to him calling the blue one a bit childish

Case/dial/crystal/bezel....prepare you anus.
LOL, good to know
Looks like the smart / only option for me then would be an already discounted second hand blue Yachtmaster with preferably already some damage to the bezel. And then just keep it.My ads on adverts.ie

well if you are rough with watches it'll definitely get damaged so maybe the best bet .
And as 893 said they may replace some replaceable movement parts but anything you can see will be lottsa cash!0 -

Just some minor movement parts I believe.
Case/dial/crystal/bezel....prepare you anus.
I replaced a white gold bezel on a Daytona...service was 800 euro, bezel was 1600 euro and I didn't get the old bezel back (Rolex keep all parts to avoid people putting genuine parts on fakes or making Frankenstein). Platinum would be even more expensive. A crystal or Dial is not too bad a few hundred but precious bezels are expensive enough.
Doesnt matter, Unkle would never keep it long enough to have the bezel replaced

Do Rolex at least discount the value of the old bezel against the new?
Seems a little cheeky of them to just keep what is your property without offering some compensatory gesture?
I know that in the past any watch I've had serviced was always returned with the replaced parts too (Granted not Rolex).0 -

Oh Jaysus. Ain't no lube strong enough to make that bearable
You're wrong there on my selling it, Sam Crooked Sympathizer. If I got one with a damaged bezel cheap enough, I'd say I'd keep it forever. But I guess that's what I thought about my Seamaster too, until you made me an offer I couldn't refuse :pac:My ads on adverts.ie

Well the explorer lasted 2 weeks so you will pardon me if I am dubious about that...I actually thought the service costs were alright on the Daytona and they do a magnificent job on the watches, refresh the warranty for 2 years and give you papers back.
I often buy watches without papers its a bit cheaper, and papers mean absolutely nothing. Less than nothing. If you were going to fake an entire watch, faking papers is much easier. If the papers are genuine they only tell you the watch was genuine when it was purchased, is the watch in hand the same watch? When was it serviced last? Service papers tell you the watch is kosher at a more resent time, and that it was look after. I would rather a Rolex with service papers from last year, than one from 2010 with original papers and no way of know what condition its in now. Talking Rolex service...not one from fast-fix.0 -

Perhaps the crystal was broken? Seems the most likely scenario. Somehow I can't see anyone desperately trying to get water in by frantically pushing the crown up and down repeatedly
The watch is from 2011, so hardly old enough for any rubber to get so old it will let water through when you're wearing it in the shower My ads on adverts.ie
