Take it back - they need to sort it out.
I got it from Creation Watches.
Hah, good luck with that.
Better off getting a watchmaker to take a quick look. Maybe it's magnetised.
which model, box and papers, condition? last service?
depending on the above anywhere between £2900-£4k
if its a 16610 in good condition with a recent service and includes box and papers and any service receipts, you will get £4k easy on a private sale.
Thanks.
Yes It's 16610 it has not had a service but keeps time so no need yet. I have all box and papers in good condition.
I like that Alpha, any details?
Oh I also like the strap of the Alpha![]()
Polywatch is easy to use, just use a clean cloth and your finger to polish. Pretty much need Polywatch if you buy a hesalite Speedmaster - you WILL scuff it now and then
Thats the primary reason I haven't bought a speedy yet -- it's just feel wrong to have what is mostly plastic crystal; sod the tradition and so on... I think the one I'll buy will definitely be the sapphire one -- I'd be gutted in your situation!
seriously? you do know that Hesalite is in fact very strong? and in a way is far better than sapphire crystal, for the reasons above.
scratch your crystal and 9/10 its a replacement, but on the other hand I have had deep gouges in my Hesalite and polywatch has brung it back to better then it was before.
during the process polywatch uses the small particles left behind and fills the scratch, leaving a perfect finish, and in 10 years of having a speedmaster I have scratched it twice.
put it up against a sapphire of the same age and there is no competition.
2, 3, 1 would be my order of preference.
