    OFers,

    The subject line says it all, really: this is the quartz (not automatic) 36mm black-dial Seamaster. (I put key details in bold so that no one buys this expecting a 41mm chronometer.) It's been an awesome watch to have---36mm is such a classic size, and not having to worry about yet another watch that needs winding has been great too. You couldn't ask for a better "beater" or everyday diver. Pure Omega DNA all the way.

    It's an honest watch with the usual desk-diver-type scratches that I've tried to show in the harshest light possible in my photos. Nothing to hide here. Functionally perfect---keeps perfect time (it's a quartz, after all), and clasp and dive extension work as they should, and the bezel does too.

    I've got it sized for my wrist, which is between 6.5 and 7", and have the link that was removed to make that so, as well. I purchased it from SwissWatchExpo and they estimated that it can fit up to a 7.25" wrist with all links attached.

    The way SwissWatchExpo archives their listings, you can actually still see the one for this exact watch here, if you want to look at some higher-quality pics too.

    No box or papers: I'll ship it (very respectfully) in the cushioned case I received it in from SWE.

    US sales only; watch will ship from Maryland USPS Priority with insurance out of my end.

    Only selling to fund another purchase---you know how that goes.

    As for pricing... I went to C24 and searched for this reference, filtering for in stock US listings. The results are both over 2k. One, like mine, has no box and no papers; the other (the more expensive one) has a box but no papers. I did the same on eBay and found one listingPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network (which includes the box but no papers) for $2450. (I realize that by the time you click these links there may be more or less or different results; just trying to show my work here.) There are other variables to consider, of course, including condition---mine does have those desk-diver scratches, not that a proper service couldn't remove them.

    Factoring in all of this, I'm hoping to get $1,800 (shipped in the US) for this watch, and will hold firm on that price for now. I'd love to see it stay in the OF family, but may head to eBay for a quicker sale if it's still here in a week or so. (I'll probably list it for $100 more there if/when I do.)

    Feel free to PM with questions, and thanks OF, as always, for the forum!
