My first omega. Didn't plan to buy seamaster but couldn't pass the bid. More then half price from 500. Limited history so probably will do the service right away. My watch guy charge me for full service 90 usd and I found that very affordable.

Omega Geneve c.1972. Not my normal taste, but nice original dial, original lume, pretty unpolished, old logo crystal and BoR bracelet.

Well under $500.

I bought that little Geneve a week a ago. Came with a nice Tissot stainless steel racing bracelet, but switched to leather.

Well bought, I stopped bidding at $225 since NYC watchmen get about $100 more



I have this calibre 560 albeit owes me a bit more than u paid still just under the $500 mark

Thanks for reply.
Honestly you have more worthy watch. From limited pictures I have I am not sure my watch dial is "real", seconds hand is not real, I still have to see case number and put the picture about the watch together. Your watch is beautiful and if you ask me personally your purchase is better. I'll post watch detail pictures to check my authenticity findings above.

This was sold today for 227.50 + 35 shipping. I think it is very nice watch for this money.

Really wow! That is a 28.10 or possibly a 30.10 RA.PC from 1943. In that execution and in that condition, with box and papers, we´re talking museum grade!

Fantastic score! 👍

Excellent thread.
My contribution isn't a watch, has probably seen better days and certainly has a few links missing, but it was priced at €50 so I can live with that

You stole it! problem is... now you have to pay $1200 for the #6 end pieces.

Plus $20000 for the 2998 I don't have to go with it! Maybe it wasn't such a steal after all 😉

Luckily though I have a backup plan, I think it'll work well on my Ranchero with some #4s
