I guess depends on what type of watch material, if steel back, then no problem...the plastic have to be taken out if not behind very fast will rust..cos of our sweats on our hand rolex have the green sticker.. can leave it there or can tear it out.. personal preference, after a while green also will fade off.. |

QUOTE(shadow111 @ Jul 14 2009, 12:18 PM) serivce interval is 4-5yrs.charges varies from brand, complications, AD or private watch maker. eg: a rolex can cost $1000 to get it service thru AD. doing it outside thru a private watch maker perhaps just 200, if U trust his work. if your watch has a normal ETA heart, its easy to get work done in a private watch maker. otherwise U might wanna go back to AD. |

hi guys, need to get some info from you guys here.
a friend of mine owe me couple of thousands and i received an used omega speedmaster as part of the repayment. i want to know how much does it worth and if it is easy to sell this off. i have not decided it's value but i was told at least RM 4k. another issue is NO BOX & NO PAPER. a watch by itself. a quick search from the net, here is the details. QUOTE Omega Speedmaster - Michael Schumacher Watch ref number 3810.12 Movement: The movement for this watch is an Omega cal.1141, 45 jewel, rhodium plated, with Geneva stripes on the topside of the movement and perlage on the outside. Case, Crystal and Crown: The case is the familiar Speedmaster design, with the familiar faceted lugs, tachometre bezel and acrylic crystal.It does have an Omega logo embossed on its centre, though. Crown has an Omega logo embossed on the surface. Dial and Hands: The eye catching dial is done in deep yellow enamel. All markings are black enamel. Hands are black, for the main time display, hours minutes and seconds, while the chronograph hands are a deep blood red. the whole outside surrounded by a distinctive white minutes track, which is bears a distinct resemblance to a checkered flag. The whole dial has a very racy feel. Date of release 1996 Launched at Kerpens Karting Curcuit in Michael Schumachers home town ![]() ![]() ![]() thanks guys in advance. if this is something good to keep i'll use it myself. thanks again.

Omega plenty of fake around. Not like its a 1960s vintage. if its a real watch, no box no papers... resale value very low. my take is get the retail value and give it a good 75% down from there. Thats how much it worth if U do sell it to preown. (if the watch does have plenty of scratches, U are losing more value) |
