Re: Seamaster concern?
In Response To: Re: Seamaster concern? ()

: I'd expect the truth is that the watch you
: bought is probably one that was returned.
: "In-store handling" is seldom
: enough to do marring like that.

I thought it might be something like that as well, Im not too concerned about the faint marks on it as long as it keeps time within the certified variation, which I am keeping track of.

I guess in my mind, you can never be absolutely positive that a watch purchased with NO marks on it at all has not been returned in the past. (for reasons of buyers remorse, etc..)

BTW.. Big thanks to Zowie maintaining a terrific website filled with lots of information. Helped me immmensely by answering my newbie questions, especially the in Seamaster FAQ !
