Interesting...
Auction houses that do not have a viewing, and only sell thru on-line must follow this (at least in Scandinavia)...

Dug out MWO and that ‘tall, closed S’ dial was used for a short run between 88-91, so combined with the bezel I’d say it was serviced in 1990 give or take a couple of years.

@Uappel , how did everything go with the watch that you where looking at?
And I think that you won the bidding??😀

won the auction and had a really good chat with the auctioneer. He completely agreed that it was a really big problem with mismatched serial numbers and offered to cancel the bid.



So I felt after the conversation that I had the following options:



1: Cancel the transaction immediately.



2: Buy the watch and then get an "Extract from the achieve".



If serial numbers didn't match their records, then I could also get a refund later on, since the item was incorrectly described.



If the serial number matched, then I would have gotten a "cheap watch" at the minimum auction price.



The risk, however, was that Omega could neither confirm nor deny the serial number. (Their records are not complete) Then I would be left with a watch that I could not return.



Therefore, I chose to cancel the transaction.



The auctioneer stated that he will go back to the sellers and have him get an "Extract from the achives". IF the seller can obtain this, the watch will be auctioned again.

@Uappel , nice that the cancelation worked out!
I do understand that you were the only bidder? And maybe did the bidding before you got the advice from the forum?

😀

Getting an extract on that watch could be exiting...

Cheers!
