Chopard Happy Sport Chronograph Ladies Watch 288499-3008

Pre-owned watches
When RSC overhauls a watch, they polish the entire bracelet and watch case, resulting in a thinner case, each time this process is done. I was told by someone at RSC that after approximately five overhauls, six if it is stainless and not gold, the case becomes soo thin from polishing, that the pressure proof integrity is compromised and RSC will not warranty the watch as pressure proof. If this is true, and someone was looking to purchase a pre-owned watch, they might want to consider this, if they were going to use it in a wet environment. I guess if they didn't swim or dive with the watch, it wouldn't make a difference. I was told this by someone who answered the phone at RSC. She also said, after the watch has been overhauled this many times, they recommend replacing the watch with a new one. Do you think they are just trying to sell? I mean, after five overhauls, one every five years, the watch is twenty five years old, I guess it should be replace after that anyway, huh?

Trade 16570 for FOIS?
Title says it all. I have both the black and white Explorer II and have been thinking of trading the black for a FOIS 1962 re-edition. It's that or sell off a couple of other Omegas to get it. Please tell me your rationale for your decision. I hate to flip but have been really thinking about what watches make sense for me longer term and I don't think that I will keep the two Speedy dates and the black Explorer II long term so I might as well trade for a piece that I see as a long term acquisition.

Crown guards on 2254.50?
Would appreciate feedback from 2254.50.00 owners?Looked at face on or looking at the dial the crown guards on mine look perfectly symmetrical. However, looking at the crown side of the watch the tip of one crown guard look almost 1mm narrower.I have also noticed this on several but not all pictures of other 2254.50.00s on the Internet.Would watches have left the factory like this, as happened with some old sports rolex, or is it the result of over-polishing by a watchmaker?And however it came about, can Swatch at service repolish to perfect symmetry from all angles?Just be interested to know how many others are like this.

Speck of dust under Sapphire Grrrrrr!!
Hello all! I have noticed a speck of dust on the inside of the glass on my GV Millgauss. While at first I did not mind it, it has slowly been eating at me and it's getting to the point where I need to figure out if it needs service, or any watch maker can fix this problem for me. I just don't want to part with it for weeks if I can help it. It's not under any factory warranty, but I recently had the glass changed out because the original had many scratches and needed to be replaced. Here's a pic, it's the speck under the middle of the minute hand. Thanks in advance! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
