Correct I've spent that much each on dozens of watches, most of them brand new unworn, and my vintage ones haven't needed anything to be done to them, other than one of them needed a polish of the acrylic crystal. However I really do appreciate the knowledge about this laser welding thing, because I am having the watch checked for that, and will probably have it done if I go through with the sale, which it looks like I will.
Actually, hold on, I have a 16808 and something needed to be done to its band or clasp years ago that was along the lines of welding. And my 16628 with MOP ruby dial the bezel had an ever so slight line on it and it was somehow filled so that might have been something like that, I just know I shipped it to my buddy and he handled it for me.
Over the years my 6239 did need a new mainspring. Actually I don't even know what was put into it I was just a kid then didn't even know what I had, I just know it stopped running and a friend of the family was the local AD and he had it taken care of.
I still note no one has taken a stabbing opinion at which of the above three has the "beefiest" lugs.
