Re: POLL - new Relume? Carrera 73653

PASS.
The seller has been less than honest with this piece. It has been listed for a long time at a price that is not realistic considering the lume has been changed. The sellers story changes overtime you talk to him.
You better verify the bracelet as well

: All....

: Here's a nice piece, owner regretfully had a full service by TAG,
: as you can see TAG butchered the Lume.

: I am soliciting feedback from the community to understand your
: thoughts on a relume from a proper expert like Abel Court.

: I already reached out the Heuer experts and the consensus is that
: original lume is obviously most desired, in this case we are
: beyond that point.

: CONS:
: not original lume

: PROS:
: price - fair
: movement - correct and accurate
: Dial - clean
: proper relume - affordable by proper expert
: bonus - GF Bracelet

: Would you: Invest? or Pass?

: Thank you CC for the space
