Found this Royal Orient WE0011FS at a Japanese Hard-Off — good deal or am I overpaying?
Stumbled across a Royal Orient WE0011FS at an Off House in Japan. Original retail was ¥160,600 and they’re asking ¥88,000 (tax included), roughly 500$
The good: comes with box and manual, beautiful rare watch, 3-month store warranty, open heart complication, discontinued and increasingly hard to find.
The bad: heavy hairlines all over the case and bracelet, and a small chip in the sapphire crystal.
Is this a reasonable deal for the condition? And does anyone know how hard it is to source a replacement sapphire crystal for this reference?
