    Is it unusual that a new watch (this IS a new watch, if I'm not mistaken) would be selling at this kind of discount? Anyone have any experience with this site?

    They are legit but are grey dealers

    Avoid grey market dealers. It's not worth the hassle later when you need a service or want to sell.

    Ah, I was wondering what the catch was. Thanks for the input.

    My pride and joy of my Skyfall Edition Planet Ocean with a newly official NATO strap fitted at Omega Boutique at Regent St, London...


    Which size NATO did you get for your PO? And is it a 42 or 45mm PO? It looks great and I'm thinking of getting one for my 42mm PO.

    Thanks.

    Hi, I just took it to my nearest Omega Boutique. My PO is 42mm so that strap will be 19-20mm width. Hope this helps.

    I need to find the the tool so I can switch my metal bracelet around for different occasions.

    That's not entirely accurate. There are grey market dealers where one can get EVERYTHING you would ordinarily get from the brand boutique or an AD i.e. full documentation and full international manufacturer's warranty. One just needs to know where to look.

    That's true, but Omega/Rolex et al will and do refuse to service them if they aren't sold with an AD stamp on them, or are known to have gone to a 'grey' dealer. And if they do have a AD stamp on them, they should be classed as secondhand, which arguably, is exactly what grey dealer watches are even though they have never been worn or used. So they aren't such a great deal afterall and come with potentially hidden hassles.

    Would not entirely agree with this.

    Depends on the brand, country and the possible discount from the grey dealer.

    Many manufacturers honor filled out warranties (even with a different name on it) in some countries it's even unlawful to refuse warranty when properly filled out by an AD.

    That's the problem though, it isn't filled out by an AD. Obviously I know for a fact Rolex won't honor them, and they look at the serial number too. Emm says Omega won't in Europe, but they lack the serial number search that is as precise as the one Rolex employ.

    I know grey dealers, who are getting Rolex warranty cards fully filled out and recorded by the ADs where they buy their lots.

    Like I said then. Secondhand, so it's only right you pay secondhand prices.

    I figured this thread was an appropriate place to ask this question given the expertise of many of the contributors here:

    What is the best/preferred method to polish an acrylic crystal? I have a vintage Seamaster and the glass, which is not original, has a few minor scratches. Thanks in advance!
  • HigginsHiggins GermanyPosts: 16,619MI6 Agent
    Best method = jeweller/watchmaker with a polishing wheel.

    Alternatively try car polish and a cotton pad

    Get some Cape Cod Cloth. Brilliant for doing this job.

    I find Christie's headline immensely misleading X-(

    At best you could call it a "James Bond watch" or James Bond Rolex" (as far as we know the Submariner from Dr. No - GF was a 2-liner?) etc, but it's certainly not James Bond's watch!
