Hello, EDIT : I have edited this post, March, 28, 2017. I have sold several watches on eBay (references upon request), but this is the first one I sell here. This watch is a "Tresor", reference 2685, from around 1954. It has a nice 266 caliber, one of my favorite caliber from the 30 series. The case is in 18k solid gold. The dial and the hands are original. The glass is probably a replacement and I am not sure for the crown. But not to mislead anyone I prefer to assume the crown is a replacement. The overall condition is rather good. The dial is spotted but has a nice patina. I have tried to give various pictures so as you can get a true idea. The dial and the hands have the original radium - except on the 4 o'clock marker, where the radium point is gone. The case is in good condition. I have not polished it and I beleive it has not been ever. One ding on the left side of the crown. The lugs are sharp. The diameter without the lugs and the crown is 35,5 cm. The movement is in good condition. I fully serviced it about 6 months month ago and it is working great. Good amplitude, low delta over 6 positions, and an average rate around + 5 sec/day. If you are interested, I have talked about the service and the dynamic posing of the watch here: https://omegaforums.net/threads/playing-watchmakers.44781/ (Since this thread, I changed the mainspring and made some last adjustments. The amplitude is now good). The band is not part of the deal (it is a gift and I want to keep it). But the buckle is. It is a genuine vintage Omega gold plated buckle, but it is not original to the watch. If any question, do not hesitate to ask. The watch is currently at Paris (France) with me. Returns are not accepted unless the watch is not as described.
To simplify and reduce a little the price: 850 euros, shipping and Paypal fees include plus the buckle - but still not the band. Cheers, François
Hello, Bump. (Be carefull, if I eat to much foie gras during Christmas, I may become big enough so that this watch fit my wrist!) Cheers, François
Price reduced: 800 euros with the buckle, Paypal fees and shipping included. I really think it is a very decent price for an origibal serviced solid gold 266.
As this watch did not have much wrist time lately, it is for sell again! I have edited my first post.
Just in case you are interested, and because it is kind of funny, this watch is now for sale on ebay. The seller is a well known caffeine addict... (which may explain that the watch is now 36 mm and no longer 35,5, and that the buckle seems to become original to the watch!). By the way, comparing the two adverts, I can see how poor my pics were! (I am not sure it is OK to put the ebay link, so I have not. But easy to find...)
Yes... But, to be fair, the ad says that it is 37.5 includind the crown. It quotes the Omega database, which states it is a 37,5 watch. But it is simply a mistake, not a strange way to calculate the diameter including the crown!
