I asked the seller on this item and he claims Harry did it in 2011 but couldn't produce an exact date, invoice amount, or invoice number. If this is an incorrect listing the seller should be reported.
The other one has been withdrawn.The reason I am sensitive about this is that I just received back a solid gold watch that had been on consignment at a dealer in San Diego since I was there in June. They claim they spent $600 doing a CLA and refinish. Strange thing- there were some small scratches on the back that show in one of my documentation photos and they are still there plus a new one. They could not have refinished it! I also doubt they opened the case. Omega charges around $800 to overhaul this particular watch.
If I list it as having been overhauled in June I could well be lying about that.
The scratches are in a place that has a fine "sandpaper" finish, circular, and I can't simply polish them out.
Jerry L. knows the rest of this sad story- DAW
