This Seamaster Cosmic 2000 from early 70s. Had lint under glass and quit a month later. Just got it back from service and it's perfect.

Just picked this up for $160. Obviously needs a new crown and one of the end links is deformed and needs to be formed back into shape. That and a service and a crystal polish and it should be pretty nice. The spring bars also seem totally corroded, so i'm gonna have to work to get the bracelet off without damaging the endlinks.

Bought last week for 拢297 posted = approx $378 US. Width is 34mm but it wears much larger. It came on a Speidel but by sheer good fortune it takes an Omega BOR I've had for years that won't fit anything else. The minute markers aren't misaligned; that's due to a combo of shadows and some tiny spots. Everything appears original, untouched and in good order.

Bought this one for 400 Euros in an antique shop. Like it a lot.

Just picked up this atypical Seamaster 120m quartz (196.0209) pseudo tropical for 200gbp (picture from the seller)! Nice not to get broke to get a nice vintage watch 馃榾)

I like that style of Geneve which I think are underappreciated. I bought this 601 on ebay in August for 拢250 with the intention of selling on, but it's so nice I'm keeping it. Sadly the bracelet's too tight for me but I found another that isn't for a reasonable sum. Meanwhile it's in for servicing.
