    hey folks,
    I'm helping out a friend here. This is a C-shape he's found on eBayPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network, sold by Alex, which he's thinking of acquiring. (it's not for me - I can't quite get the hang of these C-shapes)

    To my untrained eye, this looks like a pretty nice watch in terms of condition, as far as I can tell. The lines look quite sharp, bezel seems OK, and the seller is one of the reliable guys as mentioned in earlier threads. And the 'brick' bracelet looks quite attractive! Also it looks like a linen dial maybe? (which is what attracted my friend to it).

    So my questions are:
    a) are there any flaws or red flags I've missed?
    b) what would be the rough price range, given that C-shapes don't seem to get much love in most parts? Would $600-650 sound right, with bracelet?

    Thanks!

    Didn't we discuss this in the Recommended Omega thread? It looks good to me. I'd say $650 is the minimum expected final price but I'm biased towards C-cases.

    Not necessarily. A little higher than what I would have expected but not completely out of line for a mint condition example with that bracelet. Add the fact it came from a good seller and it all computes.

    Nope, his max bid was $821 so $905 was quite a bit higher than he was prepared to pay.
