Either the value of gold and refinished dials have increased substantially or I want what he's smoking. https://forums.watchuseek.com/f29/f...nt-condition-just-fully-serviced-5158225.html

 

There’s been some idiotic pricing around for a while

 

Mmm shiny.

 

Is that an Omega or a Qmega?

I'm not usually too keen on date features, but have long really liked the '50s Seamasters with date at 6 o'clock. Always like solid gold watches too.

So, why does that one have to be such an offense to the eye and and offense to the pocketbook as well?

 

Come on, don't be so picky. Be glad there was no relume.

 

"Dial: silver dial (professionally refinished) with arrow hour markers;"

Refinished by who?

His gardener?

 

- Oh dear!

 

True, but this is a well known seller, not some sheister on eBay. I guess this is one of the reasons I don't see his listings on OF anymore.

 

I spoke too soon. I didn't realize this watch was also listed here. There was a price reduction, so it's now only about $1200-$1500 too high. https://omegaforums.net/threads/pri...r-automatic-18k-gold-watch-ref-2627-sc.96246/

 

Has the date wheel been redialed as well? If so, that's "perfection" at it's finest.

I believe the watch is worth the total of the price reduction.

 

You aren't the only one who has commented on this particular seller.

 

I know, but I didn't feel like looking for the thread to link it. He used to sell okay quality items but now appears to have moved into the redialing business.

 

No problem! There is a correct dial for sale on eBay for @$200.

 

I'm developing cataracts, and the dial looks fine to me...

 

$2090 for the watch plus $200 for a correct dial...what a deal.

 

Never fear, the price will drop on the first anniversary of the listing.
