chum_2000_uk 0 Posted September 5, 2011 Owned a few of these myself Sean. Could never bring myself to keep them... prefer reps now, at least if I scratch them up (which I inevitably will) its not 1 large down the drain! Sell it and buy more reps :-p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chum_2000_uk 0 Posted September 5, 2011 I'd have a Gen PO, at least until I sold it again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chum_2000_uk 0 Posted September 5, 2011 Oh btw, sorry to be a party pooper, but that SMP you are buying doesn't look in great nick for the money I paid between £550 and £650 for the ones I had (admittedly a number of years ago, and admittedly from the US). I was also lucky I only got stung with import fees once too. Still, £1k seems a tad pricey for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, it has just been serviced by omega, and he has given me a spare identical bracelet, and since posting the £1000 mark, I got it for £900, ( i rang him with a bullshit story about finding one closer to home) so i dont think its too bad to be honest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chum_2000_uk 0 Posted September 5, 2011 I'd have a Gen PO, at least until I sold it again! Haha, philistine are you ? Hmm... I dunno... I can just never seem to justify having something worth that much on my wrist. These days I'd prefer to have a nice car, motorbike and somewhere nice to live over a gen watch. Plus some reps are so good now, I don't see the point in gens anymore... not unless I can truly truly write that money off as disposable income, which I couldn't right now.

Just having a quick squint on eBay now... they've definitely gone up a couple of hundred since last bought one. I almost bought one of the newer models a couple of years ago, brand new... but after paying and waiting for the online retailer to get it ready for delivery, I changed my mind. I do still really like the new ones, I like the red seamaster and silver logo etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chum_2000_uk 0 Posted September 5, 2011 aye, I like to think i bought at a good time tbh, would really really love a PO though, especially the new ceramic bezel ones Yeah, they are really beautiful those new ceramic bezel ones - I really like the look of the chrono. I had a chrono version of your watch which I really liked... a bit sorry I sold that one actually, but the red chrono hand was faded to orange, which used to bother me... plus I made a lovely profit on it. Best profit I made was on one of the 007 limited editions, the first of the 007 seamasters. Made a cool £400 profit after rebrushing and doing a few other bits and bobs to it which only cost me a few quid! Was really beat up when I got it. Horrible watch though, hate the tacky 007 models.
