    Hi all.

    I have put up one of my watches locally(-ish), but thought it might interest some of you here.

    Pie-pan dial with crosshairs in immaculate condition. The gold cap is in great condition with clear facets and a sharp bezel. No missing stars over the observatory and the dogleg lugs are still good. Last service was September 14th 2015 and it's as accurate as you could want. The quick set date works perfectly and the crystal is an Omega replacement.

    - Dial, markers and hands are in perfect condition except from a tiny dark object that has gotten onto the dial just over the 4 o'clock marker. I couldn't photograph it properly, but it can be brushed off by a watchmaker.

    - The crown isn't an original, but an aftermarket model in 18K tone, which make it appear slightly darker than the 14K capping. This is only really noticable in photographs. Notice that the crown was put on during service and the watch has passed pressure test at the watchmaker (www.watchguy.co.uk).

    - I haven't polished the watch while I have owned it, but if you'd like me to I could run some cape cod across it, which would probably remove the only visible hairline on it (lower right lug).

    - Comes with a good quality brown leather strap.

    I'm asking €1200, PayPal included. Watch is located in Denmark, EU (still).

    Pleasy note that the watch is for sale elsewhere and that I have an offer not far of what I'm asking here. This will be gone soon.

    Yes, a real beauty!

    If you don't mind my suggesting, you may have better luck if you have the watch serviced before the sale instead of after ..

    We are such an amazing community, always looking after our brethren here... what other forum would you be able to get at least 2 sarcastic remarks within hours of posting, giving notice of a possible error in your ad?

    We are truly blessed on OmegaForums! :D

    The advice we offer

    Future adds helps if the watch is hooked up to the timing machine in the picture :whistling:

    Withdrawn. Had a near miss on the watch I was gathering funds for, so this is saved from the block for now :)

    Thank you OF for the market place!
