Yes it can be laser welded tho I have NFI on cost I don't think it's overly expensive.
You have been told by several folk to go buy it and that it's a bargain so what more do you want? Just buy the damn thing already or pass on his details to someone who will!

I will help him: No Frigging Idea.
I paraphrase to avoid the forum's automatic censor feature. You do the math.
lol traiboss, i do NFI it means that , thats a good one,
i have an idea of the price because i got quote to fill up some metal corrosion on rolex case circa 1980, so, to fix that tiny dent wont be any issue and affordable

Trust me I want to buy it. Now he's like "well I'll see if I can get it fixed and maybe Ill have to charge you 2000 if I can". Problem was probably my low offer and him originally hoping he could have got more. Now he's cooling and that was obviously a mistake on my end.
He's going to look into fixing it this week (hopefully know one offers to buy it) and then we're going to talk on Monday. I'll feel him out and would be willing to pay more even if he's not going to get it fixed. Laser welding might work, but the jewelers I've talked to are basically just saying it's not worth it (they want to sell a new watch). Hopefully he hears the same.

Ya he wants me to hit him up Monday so I might just wait until Tuesday or weds and if it should happen it will. Been beating myself up a bit for how I've handled it, but you live and learn. Ill be back to update even if it means admitting I f'd up!
I second sultan, be cool, ad show no interest too much time has pass and plenty of time for him to research
Ok, I got it. Wasn't able to get him to budge, his watch buddy said he should be getting $2500 for it minimum so I paid $2000 and promised to buy my next Audi from him. This almost didn't happen like 6 times... don't think I'm ever going to sell it. Found a micro welder who specializes in titanium and he will fix the knick for nothing basically. Assume a jeweler can clean up some of the other scratches. Picking up the boxes, straps and everything else tomorrow... will probably sell a couple straps if anyone wants the calf skin or maroon croc!
Thanks for everyone's help... hope I still got some value here. Feels great to add a gen to the collection. Ill post more pics later and as I clean the watch up.
