Finally up for sale is this true Gem of a watch.
Worn hard and will give you goosebumps with all the adventure this watch has had.
Your wrist will never be the same.

Want to show those desk diver types at the office who is not a couch potato.... Boom

Snoopyish style blue bezel that everyone is looking for nowadays.

Sold head only ( I know but the NATO means a lot to me so that will be extra and I know it annoyed someone here a few weeks ago )

Runs well but I don’t really tell the time with it as time doesn’t exist where I live.





Picked our first pineapple wearing this watch



Recently Serviced about 5 years ago by @JimInOz ( was free but I have included the extra $400 for a bottle of scotch for him that I never sent him )


Hands have been relumed.
Case has never been polished. Probably eroded by life would be a better term to explain the case
Bezel has a scratch at 40 but very hard to notice
Dial replaced with a NOS one hence the listing as NOS
Crystal is see through


Picture before it was serviced


Again this has been my good luck charm for years resulting in several memorable fish being caught while this was strapped to my wrist


Now for the price. I have taken in all the experiences I have had with this watch and the current price of the Snoopy 3 on chrono 24 to come up with below. ( not forgetting the $400 for the $100 bottle of scotch I owe Jim and postage to Melbourne by a courier that doesn’t drink which is hard to find in Darwin )

$28,400.00US net to me.
Would prefer face to face locally but will ship at buyers expense.

References galore if you need them
Just PM

I've been sending PMs for months. What does a guy have to do to part with his hard earned money. I'm sure I can flip it for a quick profit. 😝

The condition of the back doesn’t match the condition of the front- I’m think re-back!

I'd tend to agree... A bit dodgy that he's trying to sell a re-back as an original NOS!

Almost NOS is open to interpretation- like being a little pregnant or slightly dead

$28,000 in Jan 2021 was way over priced. But considering the rate of inflation plus the increase in the cost of watches in general (Rolex in particular), $28,000 in Jan 2021 is the equivalent of $56.00 in Jan 2022. This is now a crazy deal.

I can not believe there is no mention from one of the more established, veteran collectors on this fine forum regarding the coveted mark 12 lume plots clearly visible on this very fine example.

How is this still here? If my crypto wallet hadn't just been hacked I'd have been all over this one, damn. GLWTS

Want to trade for Aldrin’s Speedmaster? Uh, oops, never mind. That watch mysteriously disappeared and I don’t know anything about it. 🙄

Are the spring bars original?

Nothing but “Seiko Fat Bars” go on this beauty. Individually sourced from the Japanese factory….hand picked by 7th generation Seiko craftsman or craftsperson nowadays
(sounds a bit like the changing of what is on the back of a Speedmaster)

Why do you have to fat shame the spring bars? They have it rough already!

Send the payment to me along with a 10% surcharge,
I will see that is forwarded on to Standy through official Omega forums channels.

I have watched this thread with eager interest. think it may be worth adjusting your price expectations on this, It often happens that members allow their FS watches to sit here, being bumped every day or two, and offering nothing new to entice prospective buyers. If I were you, I'd slam the price up to $35,000 and see what shakes. Just my 2p. GLWS.

No-no, you slam the price up to $35k, then offer a discount to $28k, that’s the way it’s done 😉
