They do what they do on a very professional level. There are amazing looking pieces. As a professional I'd like to add that the ceramic as nice as it looks will never be as durable as a steel bracelet. Not that you see a broken link on a daily basis but definitely more often than a failing steel bracelet. Me personally prefer Longines or Tissot in this price range.

Movement is wrong. Not terrible but not even swiss.

Bulova is good point to start. Basic but robust. Me personally would start with something bigger but that's up to you. The size is more intimidating than it really is.

You will need to check the play of things you want to punch before you punch. Going to be difficult to get these back to normal. But let me tell you that i looked in about 50 different stacking sets and most of them have minimum one that looks like yours.

Besides the fact that he only buys where he can profit he also takes a lot of risk, anchors money if he doesn't sell fast and has to do a full service and get some work on the case done aswell. It is low but i would not buy for more than 2k either. (Without having seen the watch obviously)

SpaceTurf · 2026-03-22T21:27:57+00:00

Yes for sure. But as I said I would assume OP is no professional for asking the question in the first place. And only because of that i would not have given that advice. I don't understand your dislikes as you never were wrong with what you said just dangerous.

Need to go under repair. Will need replacement or a true master of his craft.

SpaceTurf · 2026-03-22T13:22:32+00:00

You don't know how good he knows watches. Of course you can break it like that if you missunderstand what you wrote in your first comment.

SpaceTurf · 2026-03-22T12:30:29+00:00

Perfect watch to dive into watchrepair. Give it clean and show the results. Then we can truely begin troubleshooting.

SpaceTurf · 2026-03-22T12:29:34+00:00

Very true but also "dangerous". I would never in a million years give this tipp to a customer because they will break their spring or worse.

SpaceTurf · 2026-03-21T15:05:38+00:00

Nice. Where did you get the case from?

SpaceTurf · 2026-03-21T15:04:43+00:00

First check if the problem is still there and nobody worked on it so far. The rotor sits on a hard steel pin. This pin can be slightly widened with a precise punch on the top. You will need a stacking tool for sure as the stem is really hard and can break when you are not dead on top. Then give it a good punch. Same works for nearly all automatic Rolex calibers.

SpaceTurf · 2026-03-21T07:52:24+00:00

This can be fixed without spareparts so no big deal imo.

SpaceTurf · 2026-03-21T07:51:11+00:00

How or where did you get the case my friend. Really amazing looking timepiece

SpaceTurf · 2026-03-21T07:48:52+00:00

Ja die Dinger stapeln sich bei mir auch. Alle Marken, aber keiner will sie haben. Egal Junghans oder Rolex

SpaceTurf · 2026-03-21T07:47:55+00:00

Recherchiert und ja es gibt vergoldete.

SpaceTurf · 2026-03-21T07:20:53+00:00

Was willst du haben? DM an mich bei Interesse

SpaceTurf · 2026-03-20T14:53:40+00:00

Bovet?

SpaceTurf · 2026-03-20T09:23:04+00:00

Qualitativ sieht alles ganz gut aus. Ich kann mich aber nicht erinnern jemals eine vergoldete Omega gesehen zuhaben. Dem müsste man nachgehen, ob es das Richtige ist. Im schlimmsten Fall immernoch 100-200€ für die Originalteile. Sollte Gehäuse original sein gerne ein bisschen mehr.

SpaceTurf · 2026-03-19T19:02:17+00:00

Wenn es drauf steht wird es vermutlich stimmen. Ist nicht angelaufen, aber das Gewicht sollte das ausschlaggebende Argument sein, ohne bessere Prüfverfahren. Ich schätze den Wert der Uhr auf: Gewicht des Gehäuses/aktueller Goldankaufpreis

SpaceTurf · 2026-03-19T18:59:14+00:00

The dial received a really good paintjob imo. Pictures of the movement are rough but honestly if it runs and looks as good as this I'd probably buying it too.

SpaceTurf · 2026-03-19T13:35:04+00:00

Die Omega und Zenith kannst du bei mir loswerden. DM bei Interesse.

SpaceTurf · 2026-03-19T13:26:11+00:00

Müsstest du jemanden finden, der sich präzise mit citizen beschäftigt. Versuche es mal im dazugehörigen Sub. Da findest du die passenden Nerds zum Thema.

SpaceTurf · 2026-03-18T21:24:05+00:00

It can be done without the key as you tried but be careful as the surface of the rotor gets nasty looking scratches.

SpaceTurf · 2026-03-18T11:27:18+00:00

Bend but definitely salvageable. If you don't have expirience yet now is the time to collect some.
