I stumbled over this and had to buy it cuz of the bracelet it came with but it turned out the watch was also an absolute beauty



You bagged that + a flat link bracelet for under $500? Congrats, that is an amazing deal!! Still haven't managed to find one myself yet 🙁

It was indeed ! I think the seller had no clue of what he was selling...🙄 I believed it was a fake and I would never see my money again until I received it...

That's plenty cool. I like pretty much any Connie.

This came off eBay for £150. It is just about to be sent off to Paul to have a look at the hour hand. First Hummer and first Connie

Another eBay find, under 300 usd, a little age related patina on the dial. But quite a nice unicoque Seamaster.

Is it running smoothly?

Some lovely watches here guys, from a fairly untrained eye at first glance. It’s interesting to see what different people like and go for.

My 1959 cal.520 case ref.14387 bought for under $400 ~ £280.

I have timed it for a day, it has lost about 20 seconds and the movement looks clean. Although if you are inquiring to buy, I have already gifted it to a friend who has been looking for a 3 hand Seamaster for the past year or so.

I was actually just curious to see what you get from eBay for the money 😀 no intention to buy 😉

I am missing a 50s Omega but looking for one with mixed arabic numbers (2,4,6,8,10,12) or two-tone dial.

If you know your way around a watch, I find allot of good stuff comes on ebay if you are willing to wait long enough and to take some risks on bad pictures.

Yeah but you can never see from the pictures whether it runs smoothly or not 😎 received a Seamaster sparkle dial in nice optical condition and with clean looking movement which runs fast 1 min per hour (!). Its on the way to the watchmaker 😉
