    I'd want more then just 1 photo if I'm shelling out 19K
    19K You should spend the extra thousand and go to Japan.

    People are really going to be paying $19k for these now??????? Man, the sense of urgency I had just a couple months ago when I traded mine and wanted to pick up another as quickly as possible really was justified!

    You need to make sure the watch is a full set with a matching serial on the warranty card printed 3570.40 . Even then you should reach out to your country's Omega customer service contact email and have them verify the reference number for the serial on the watch. If it doesn't come back as a 3570.40, it's a put-together

    Super overpriced. Just sold one last week for 9k. These do come up for sale. Have patience. You will find one at a normal price. 16k. Is very high in my opinion.

    I'm in the market for an Omega 3570.40 as well and this is completely over priced. Vintagespeedmaster.com, who I believe is a mod here, just sold one a couple of weeks ago for roughly $10.5 and it was the full set. Save your money and find one cheaper.

    No wonder it's price what you want... wonder if it'd be better if we had a public database of historical watch prices so people didn't just spend money willy nilly

    Kind of funny, but recently saw one being sold out of Japan for about $3.3K. I was too late to the draw, though.

    It’s still a little bit on the high side IMHO.
