In case there are any other (redeemable) wankers who like Hamiltons.
@Zapatta Helluva entrance. You will fit right in. 👍

··Vintage Omega AficionadoMaybe if it came with the Authenticity Guarantee the winning bidder would have followed through. 😁

·The re-listing disappeared pretty fast... I assume it was a private sale off ebay to save on additional taxes

·I thought that winning bidder was a shill.
I just changed my mind. I'm like that.

·If the high bidder disappears, don't they tell the second bidder he bought it?

Seller can send 2nd chance offer but does not have to.

·I hate 2nd chance offers and always refuse them.
"Hey there guy ummm my shilling failed su uhhh if you'd like like take 4% under my extremely inflated price I'd be so kind to offer you a 2nd chance. "
I refuse them with extreme prejudice

·A second chance offer might be acceptable if it were offered at the price the auction would have ended at ignoring all of the bids of the winning bidder, i.e. one increment above the top bid of the third highest bidder.

··ΩF InvestiGatorLooks like it was sold a second time.
Vintage Omega Chronometre Wrist Watch. Runs. Might need serviced.
This listing had mostly new pictures, including movement and inside of case. Price is nuts, IMHO, but like @Bill Sohne says, go find another.

PS - @kyle L, you are just about dead on with your assessment.

··Ωf Jury memberWhen newbies post $$$ watches where we say “overpriced”, just think about- how much would it take to pry yours from your hands
I do, and the answer is typically: significantly less. Which, of course, is why I (and many others) consider them to be overpriced.

I'm thinking not of notable discounts, but rather realistic pricing. Not so long ago I started a thread about a dive watch that had been listed for sale at an absurd asking price. The thread was deleted by the Mods, and the watch is currently still for sale somewhere around 40% the original ask.
That's not to say that what I would consider to be unrealistic prices are never realized, but when something sells for what appears to be an exceptionally high price, it does not necessarily mean that it somehow reflects the "wisdom" of the market. It could just as easily be a matter of two aroused bidders with lots of disposable income battling it out at auction, with their egos being the primary catalyst.

·I agree with you @Tony C. When you get into the stratosphere like the OP watch all bets are off- it’s not longer rational. In my SMDV example (which happens to be among the most desired by the new to Omega crowd next to the Speedmaster), there are so many out there that we can make a fair assessment on value- but as we have seen, truly exceptional examples aren’t as common as many think- they do garner a premium that steps well above what many of us think is fair market value. That said, no way one of those is worth $1.6k, but a 20-30% premium- absolutely.

·The forum often makes me laugh and sometimes wince at the same time. I’m always surprised how A thread can so quickly go off the rails.
My only objection to posting active auctions is the increased exposure. I search to find a nice item, two folks bidding, good price.... Once posted on the forum how many others might now be interested that might not have done any homework to locate the item before the post.
That said, I’m appreciating the information on shill bidding. Thank you.
