Refurbished hamilton

I am being offered a refurbished hamilton khaki for around 50 usd converted from my local currency. The seller says that the watch will never face any problems and is in good condition. Does anybody here have any idea on refurbished watches??

Yes, I have and it wasn’t pretty. I bought an overhauled Maurice Lacroix - a nifty little weirdo from early days at Lacroix. It just didn’t run. I sent it back for repair. Excuse me, ‘repair’. It came back with an air of finality and stopped working a while after that. I don’t trust my local watchmaker to fix it (I think he’s sloppy. The repair on my Laco which had developed rust in the keyless works was odd. He fixed it, but with a dubious part…anyway).

Be very certain that you can return it for repair within a reasonable time (6 months? A year?).

Ask for lots of photos, too. Go macro! It’s your money.

That’s the main thing in this deal: it’s YOUR money, and the seller ought to fully earn it.

But don’t be rude! 😂

Hope you get your watch in great shape!

Be very suspicious. You run a terrific risk of being ripped-off. I hate to say it.

How much do you want to spend in USD$?

I’m Canadian, but I know that you could get a great deal by ordering online from a place called Jomashop.

I can try to help you out. I’ve had years of experience with the hobby. 😃🍁

Walk away, that's too cheap.

Thank you your advice has been very helpful. I have decided to not buy instead I'll spend that on a bulova from my local dealer who I trust and has been great in the past it's a little more expensive but the right choice.
