··Ash @ ΩFBricks and mortar dealers get to charge a lot from people that are too lazy to know what they’re buying. The Constellation doesn’t bother me quite as much as some items like the Geneve Cal 601, I’ve seen them go for prices over $2,500 in a store window despite worn cases and rough dials, so about 1000% markup

·Bought this 18k Connie last week for less than 3k. It's crazy to me people pay these prices but congrats to him for getting them sold

·At least the mantra “you buy the seller” is true for him, as far as I know. Some other dodgy websites charge nearly as much and are far less concerned with originality.

·^Agree on this. All of his watches are in excellent condition, serviced and he notes that all have factory original dials. For an inexperienced buyer who doesn’t feel confident about evaluating a vintage watch and who doesn’t mind paying a very significant premium, the Omega Enthusiast is an option.

·Most of his buyers are "one time buyers" after they find out they can't even get 30% back

yeah the resale market from his customers has to be a low pool ... those are the zingers you see later on C24.

·Wow €4800 is pretty steep inded.....but you know all power to him if he can find them, service them, photograph them and then sell them for these kinds of prices.

·He definitely has a niche. Condition is nice. For that kind of premium I'd expect a perfect dial and all the extras. But, you throw some tasty a bait and eventually someone may bite

·Just curious what his buying price was for that piece? If he sells that high, should be offer a high price for seller as well?

··Purrrr-veyor of luxury cat box loungersLet's just say I've lost to him on eBay multiple times, even when I was fairly confident my bid was pretty safe.
and there’s the rub….
if he has the financial clout to buy up high quality examples, that make their way to the open market, ahead of collectors - and then prices them at a high retail selling price - the danger is that he could become a one man market-price trend-setter.
However, luckily for us the market is global and so is Omega Forums - therefore, as long as we keep pointing out that his prices are quite ludicrous his little corner of the market should stay just that.
and in this case, whilst the case is quite nice, the dial quality is average at best and certainly not worth any kind of premium.
