Solid 18kt White Gold Omega Collectors Watch

This is essentially the same advertisement I placed before with a couple of exceptions.
1) I neglected to give credit to Desmond. He was the one which came up with all of the helpful information
within the advertisement, I have now put it in hyphens.
2)He recently suggested I include the weight of the watch, Duh. Of course I should have.
The watch weighs 2.940 ounces of 18kt white gold. As one can see in the photos, there is not much watch.
It was the thinnest watch made at the time at only 2mm or 3mm including the crystal.

This part by Desmond, thank you.

>I took this watch to Omega on Post Street here in San Francisco, the main Head quarters and had the watch examined.
The watch needs servicing and cleaning along with a small repair on the movement itself. I was quoted $600.00 to do this work from Omega.
They also gave me an estimated value of between $7000.00 to $10,000 US.
I am willing to sell this watch for $8,000.00 AS IS or if you would like it brought back to new condition by Omega I will process the work and then sell it for $8,800.00.
I would require the $800.00 in advance and then give you a time frame from Omega on how long the work will take.
Once the watch has been serviced, I will then send it to you asap in a secure, insured and certified method along with receipts from Omega on the work done.
So, you have a choice of having me tend to the servicing or you could either have it done or do it yourself.
