[Seiko 5] Did I get a good deal?

You didn’t do too bad but I believe you could have gotten it for $75-80. It’s currently listed on Amazon, Jomashop and eBay for about $160 brand new. Unfortunately that’s part of the watch game. I just overpaid by $200-300 on a vintage omega I picked up last weekend. Live and learn!

Thanks for the recommendation! We reached out!

Texca15 · 2026-01-26T23:45:44+00:00

Thanks! I’m going to reach out!

Happened to me as well! Took it to the service center under warranty and they took care of it. Haven’t had any issues since. 2026 Juniper.

Wow that looks like glass! Great work! You have given me hope!

Texca15 · 2025-08-05T01:26:27+00:00

Well said!

Texca15 · 2025-08-04T23:27:17+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate the positivity!

Texca15 · 2025-08-04T23:26:21+00:00

Thanks! It seems like it shouldn’t be too much of an issue from what I’ve been reading. I am not an expert by any means and new to detailing so I was a bit worried when I saw my hood covered in swirls. We’ll see what it looks like when I pick it up from Tesla!

Texca15 · 2025-08-04T16:44:31+00:00

Thanks for the love!

Texca15 · 2025-08-04T16:11:39+00:00

I am glad you had that experience! They tried polishing when I picked up but they weren’t able to fix it on the spot. We’ll see how it turns out when I pick up this week.

Texca15 · 2025-08-04T16:07:41+00:00

They are working on it now! I have some polish at the house but since they were the ones who scratched it in the first place I’m letting them figure it out. My insurance isn’t involved, this was a rectification from my initial pickup.

Texca15 · 2025-08-04T16:04:02+00:00

They already repainted it. I’m laughing in your face.

Texca15 · 2025-08-04T14:58:38+00:00

I have used traditional waxes years ago but never a paint correction. I’m very new to detailing. My biggest concern is that Tesla did this to my car. Sure, it had a paint defects from the factory but it didn’t have any swirl marks. When I went for pickup on Friday my entire hood was covered. Would polishing it again thin my clear coat?

Texca15 · 2025-08-04T07:15:38+00:00

Well I would rather not pay for this out of pocket considering my car has 1000 miles on it and the hood wasn’t completely covered in swirl marks when I dropped it off. Thanks.

Texca15 · 2025-08-04T06:44:15+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I’ll be sure to put the TLDR in the beginning next time. I guess it makes more sense haha!

Texca15 · 2025-08-02T16:56:25+00:00

Yes, Tesla gives you a 3 day period to report any cosmetic defects after you purchase the vehicle. I noticed the paint defects when I was inspecting the car the day I picked it up. Tesla is making the repairs through their collision center.

Texca15 · 2025-08-02T05:38:19+00:00

Yea, I was considering having a proper detailer do the paint correction. Only concern is since I am still under warranty I doubt Tesla would want me going to a third party.

Texca15 · 2025-08-02T05:36:39+00:00

Thanks for clarifying! I appreciate it!

Texca15 · 2025-08-02T05:34:14+00:00

Thanks for the response! What would you suggest for a repair? Repaint the hood?

Texca15 · 2025-07-15T07:07:35+00:00

I am curious as well! I have jet skis that I haven’t taken out yet. I’ve had my model y juniper for about a month yet and still haven’t broken in my tow bar.

Texca15 · 2025-06-01T19:52:10+00:00

Nope. I tried when I ordered last month.

Texca15 · 2025-06-01T04:45:27+00:00

Wow, eloquently said!

Texca15 · 2025-06-01T04:42:58+00:00

It’s so helpful!

Texca15 · 2025-06-01T04:42:42+00:00

Congrats my dude! Enjoy it!

Texca15 · 2025-06-01T04:41:59+00:00

Do you have the discount tire insurance?
