what to do...
thank you for your knowledgeable answers. now i can face the next challenge. do i buy brand new bond seamaster blue coaxial 41mm or get the PO preowned (2005). the PO is on strap which i will get rid of immediately and buy a braclet (which will cost additional). will this still be feasible?i ok with buying both brand new and preowned. but in this case which one? i want to use this for daily beater and some salt water diving. i have never bought an omega before. if i choose to go preowned. what do i need to check for authenticity. is there something like a laser etched crown, Where can i find the serial number?
