    Contemporaneous but towards the end of the 2852/2887 run was when the 2887 existed - most (but not all) the dials already had the chronometER spelling and AFAIK (including the pair of 2887s in my collection) they housed cal. 505 though in theory at least (and supported by some printed documentation from omega) cal. 501 belonged in this case as well but I have yet to see an example of that combination.

    Only if the seller is willing to ship to your country. And German Ebay has a very high proportion of sellers not willing even to ship outside of Germany, much less to the benighted barbarian lands outside of the EU. I believe that explains why so few listings pop up.

    I am green with envy Alex. Immaculate.

    You can't see "German Only" listings when you select worldwide. What I do is to log on to ebay.de, run a search and save it. That way I get to run that search when I am logged on to ebay US and still see German only listings. Hope this helps.

    If you want to see German ebay, type ebay.de then you will find listing in Germany.
    With sellers who only ship within Germany or Europe, you still can ask if they ship internationally and that you are willing to pay extra shipping cost if you win. Most of the time, they say yes.

    I am always willing to take delivery of a watch, and then ship it out to you, if you find the object of your desires :D these German eBayers can be overly cautious when shipping outside their native vaterland, even more so outside the EU! ;)

    I am also willing to assist!

    On the other hand - it is not so much different with Americans!

    Many of them insist to ship US only even when you ask... and you know the sentence about value declaration: "it is forbidden by US and international laws..."

    Time correct it is the 7077 bracelet with 18mm endlinks (#4). Later 7915 or 1506 or 1035 would be ok also with the correct endlinks. As you might now these bracelets are not cheap since they are original on early speedmasters.
