supposed to hoot one 16600 today but the diver extension clasp loose. cannot click in place.

flat 4 insert one.

Wah that’s unfortunate regarding the clasp. But 16600 is an awesome piece. Hope you hoot another one soon!

super high chance. and the unscrupulous ones will tell you that it is not polished... :s13:

bring along a more experienced friend or just read up more and arm yourself with knowledge.

guys, what are the chances that pre-owned dealers would polish the watch before selling it?

Hi bro thanks for your reply. Hmmm, I understand for slightly older pieces (e.g. 16610) you can detect poor polishing via the chamfer/bevel but how about modern pieces like Sub C?

Guys recommend me what pre-owned watch I should get next. Budget < $3500.


Not a fan of Tudor, Omega, Ball, Bell & Ross or any Japanese brand. ( Pls don't flame me :( )

Any IWC around that price range?
Should be at least 42mm.

Is stowa good? ( Eyeing flieger)
But this Breitling Chronomat I've been eyeing look nice. ( But I already have a Breitling)


sighhhh

See the lugs, got uneven? see the clasp. got polish can see one.

but usually modern piece, if refinish also easy to see.

most will just cape cloth it.
