    Hi

    Anyone else following the auction below?

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Omega-CK...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    Must admit I'm not well versed in this reference, but it looks alright to me after comparing to other examples online. It looks remarkably well preserved, especially the bezel which I understand are notoriously fragile on these.

    Any thoughts on what sort of price it may reach?

    Looks very nice but
    No mention if the bezel is original or redone. Dial macros would be a big help here.
    500 caliber movement is 17 jewels. Not 24 as stated by seller.

    Seller demands a 500 pound paypal deposit and the rest by wire. Not sure that's legal in eBay, as there might be no way to recover the balance in case of fraud.

    I noticed this as well. It seems very suspicious at minimum, I considered contacting eBay about it but decided not to pursue.

    It’s not.
    If you win it.
    Pay with PayPal
    Seller may cancel .
    Or may not

    i would ask the seller for a better movement shot to see clearly if it has the correct import stamp, it is not clearly visible on those pics
    everything else looks good at a first look but needs def to be checked in deep
