BTW, links to the auctions you refer to would be helpful!
CBs are an uncommon sub-reference to begin with and have an interesting history, it seems a lot of the 105.012's worn on the moon including the final two on Apollo 17 were CBs. Then if you're specifically after a CB, crisp lug facets are what you want.
And yea, from memory UK buyers get bent over by Her Majesty's Treasury to the tune of something like 25% on imports.
Thank you.
That does seem to be in exceptional cosmetic condition. A watch maker may have an opinion on the hour register repair, but a service is usually a given when you go fishing in the 'bay.
My favorite pre-moon (including the highly coveted straight lugs). Just looks damn sexy with its subtle differences.
Could be a sign of things to come for the -66 CB? But I still think that was high by $2,500 USD in today money.
looks like watchmaker (member) Stefan's?
We can sit and moan that it was too expensive, but I challenge the people who feel that way to post a watch that good they would sell for less.
People offloading before the Omega Lock Down comes into full effect?
Would a watchmaker really put this on eBay in this state with this description?
"Chrono function only starts and resets with top pusher. Bottom needs fixing but have been told it's only minor...Time keeping is ok. Not been serviced recently."
I wouldn't think so but I could be mistaken. Again.

Hey, we all want to buy low and sell high!💰 😁 Seriously, it may be worth it for someone with a lot of money to waste (and risk for a lemon), but not for everybody since there are a lot of better deals out there.
