Why the secrecy on how much you paid? It'll be a good data point for anyone else looking to buy.
I Just thought people would jump to conslusions as it has to be fake because it was so cheap . For clarity I only paid $1500aud .

Shit my bad , didn’t even intend to sell it just seeing a heap of prices studying and wanted to gauge it . No stress though I’ll delete that question not worried too much to curious .
This forum is made of all sorts from the very charitable to the hard nosed businessmen but at its core is a group of enthusiasts who go out of their way to share knowledge and time and sometimes money to help other people with the same interest.

It boils my piss if people take advantage of that and it happens fairly regularly. If I have your intentions wrong then I apologise and wish you well with a great purchase

Just FYI . I took the gamble on this watch and paid/collected it before I even posted on the forum to be honest . a bit back to front if u will . Based on my own knowledge of vintage omega in the very minor sense of information I have learned from my 165.024 and sourcing parts etc , but mainly questioned the dial but trusted my gut and went for it . But posted on this forum thread because I was told that were the experts are and not to rely on Facebook groups but here I got all the professional information I was after and more so to be fair .

Well, it goes without saying that you got a spectacular deal. The watch isn't without its flaws, but at what you paid it's very easy to overlook them. If you want to know what Rancheros generally sell for, you can search for past Ranchero sales that were listed here on OF in the private watch sales forum.
