Hi TRF,
I recently purchased a 16700, and just noticed smudge-like residue on the rehaut. Is this a big nono (return?) or should I just have the store clean it off?

Thanks!!

I would return to the store and have them clean that off. It visually detracts from the watch and it's never a good thing to have foreign matter under the crystal.

Thanks. Just sent them an email.

I also just noticed two chips on the crystal.. what do you guys think?? I know that it's an old watch, but watch was described as Like New at 9K.

Oh my. I think you were fooled by the store

the case looks like it had been polished

I would return it

Two minor issues that are easily fixable.

If you like the watch and assuming there's nothing else wrong, I'd keep it and try to get the seller to knock off some money. Ask for a $1K discount, which would more than cover getting a new crystal and lightly cleaning the rehaut.

That's one of the problems with a description "Like New." It's vague and can mean different things to different people. Who was the seller?

That’s not like new. It has 3 issues:
-chips on crystal
-smudge on rehaut
-quite polished
