If the box is complete, sell it separately. I've just seen a similar, complete one in so-so condition sell for €200 in an open auction.
I actually think the price is fair for the watch but you have unfortunately got a model that is in between more popular ones. I’ve lost count of the number of new and recent members who are showing Pie Pans that they want opinions on (some of which are total dogs) and personally, I prefer yours to that classic 50s style. I’m clearly in a minority on that! But I prefer the case on my C-case 168.017 and its linen dial to yours, even though the dauphine hands on yours are really attractive.
If I were in the market for another Connie, I would be tempted! I think you just have to be patient.
Best of luck in your endeavours!
Thank you Spruce !
Depends on the size of the watch and the width of the bracelet. I have a Hamilton Langdon that is maaaybe 32mm diameter and uses a 5/8" strap or bracelet (16mm for today).
That was a man's watch when it was new!
With all do respect weeled, i would not feel comfortable selling to a user who has only just joined.
Thank you though.
Everyone is new once. This one is not acting like a scammer.
Honestly gordon. I appreciate and understand your thinking. I’ve loved omega since I was a kid. Now I’ve got a few spare pounds (uk obviously). Working from home has helped that recently and thought I take the plunge. I’m sorry if you feel all new people are scammers. I’ll just jump onto eBay and hopefully not get ripped off but considering my knowledge of omega is simply the aesthetic beauty I doubt that will happen. The reason I joined here was because from the sidelines, you all looked legit and willing to give advice, but alas some won’t give people a chance.

You can buy from the sales listings on OF by sending the seller a PM.
Respectfully, I will just mention that it may be more the sales strategy than the fact that the market is soft (the market is NOT soft IMO). If you have had the watch listed for a long time and you keep lowering the price, then the listing may have become stale. Everyone has seen it, they have seen that nobody else is buying it and that the price is dropping. So they are wondering if something is wrong.
Pricing an item correctly right at the start can sometimes get a better price than pricing it too high, which risks alienating potential buyers, who never look at the listing again.
Sorry Weeled, I did not mean to insult you. I recently dealt with a potential buyer who strung me along for a while, potentially bailing. (among some other negative things i wont get into). I am sure you are a great person and i hope you stick around and learn from some of the experts here. I my self have not been here very long, but its a neat place.
Again, i do apologize if i offended you
As am i, again i do apologize.
Also, like it says in the post. this is NOT a sales thread. I was genuinely wondering if i was missing something.
