FS: MINT Omega Seamaster 2296.80 Rose Gold/Titanium *PIC*

This watch was purchased by me in April 2006, pre-owned, with an Omega Inner and Outer Box, pictograph card, manual, leather card holder, spare link, and in excellent condition. It was running about 4 seconds slow per day, so, being the nut that I am, I had it sent to an authorized Omega service center to get the full service. I was unhappy with the service, and sent a scathing letter to Omega USA and Omega Switzerland. They asked me to send it directly to the attention of the Omega USA service manager, and she had them do the complete, and I mean COMPLETE overhaul on this watch. They had it six weeks and replaced what appears to be just about every movement part, the crystal, the hands (also rose gold), the pushers (rose gold as well), the winding crown (you guessed it, rose gold). How do I know they replaced all these parts ? They returned them in little baggies ! Yes, they returned the rose gold parts, and most of them still look brand new. The crystal they replaced even looks brand new. The watch came with a regulation card showing that it is averaging +1.9 secs per day, and so far I have not seen it stray even that much with a couple of days wearing. For all intents and purposes, this is as good as the day it left the factory, if not even better. It is stunning.

This particular model was produced in limited numbers for a short time, and is now discontinued. It is water resistant to 300M/1000FT, and is a very large watch. It is not, however, extremely heavy due to the liberal use of titanium in the case and bracelet. The rose gold is absolutely gorgeous on this watch. I am asking for $3750 for this watch, and will include everything mentioned in this posting (box, papers, parts, spare link).
