Re: Broken red dot seal
In Response To: Broken red dot seal ()

Hello again,

Got my new speedmaster. Seal intact. Factory fresh! Have to say I am very happy with it and compliments for the way my dealer handeled this issue. Tnx again for your replies.

Greetings from the Netherlands,

Erik

: Hello to you all,

: I need some advice. I recently bought a new Speedmaster Broad Arrow
: cal. 3303. Since the model isn't produced anymore, I got 30%
: off. The salesman told me; new old stock. All papers,
: certificates etc. are there. As far as I can say on this short
: term, no technical problems. Bought the watch from an original
: dealer (In 2002 I bought an new speedmaster date from this
: dealer without any problems). The next day I discovered the red
: dot seal was not intact. The red part on the case back was half
: a cm seperated from the red part on the case. I immedialteley
: took the watch back to the dealer. He assured me he never opened
: the watch, that it was new and that I had full warranty. He had
: to admit though that the seal was broken. He had no idea what
: coused this. At first he wanted to put on a new red seal
: himself, but I insisted on sending it back to Omega, to let them
: put the red seal on. My first qustion is:
: 1. Did I do the right thing? Since there is no replacement he
: cannot offer me a replacement.....and is is a very very nice
: watch!
: 2. Does anyone know if Omega checks the watch if they seal it
: again? Are they willing to seal it again at all? Does anyone
: know?
: 3. Any thoughts at all?

: Thanks for your reply, appreciate it!

: Regards,

: Erik
