·Greetings all, visiting from the Vintage forum where I spend too much time. Need to get the collective's opinion on this one-
Got an opportunity to pick up an airking 14000 from a guy I met via ebay (detailed the situation in another thread
https://omegaforums.net/threads/private-sale-need-advise.94173/
and just want to get an opinion on if there are any red flags here.
The seller was selling the bracelet on ebay, I bought it and after the transaction I initiated a conversation and we got chatty. I asked what watch the bracelet came from and he said his airking, but doesn't like bracelets and wears leather, so figured he would sell the bracelet to fund other things.
I threw out a general- "if you ever feel like selling"- and he came back to me yesterday asking if I was indeed interested, he would like $1.5k for it as that was the # his AD suggested was approximate value. I would be paying for the head only as I already own the bracelet.
Is this a decent price for this watch in this condition? I will ask for case stamping pics. He sent me a pic of the movement when we first starting chatting (he bought a clear case back for it and sent me a pic), so the movement looks legit, can't find the message though.
He sent 22 detailed pics, this is a sampling of them. Comments and opinions appreciated.
