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 appreciate the efforts in everything : offset, blur, quality, light - everything looks crap.

It must have been a real challenge to produce that content. 👍

Well it’s a culmination of all those shit shots we see in FS adds. It was quite a artistic endeavour to accomodate the gambit of them all in one sitting.

#instagram here I come 👍

Sorry I already sold both kidneys and my left nut for an ex-NASA Timex Marlin worn by John Glenn on Apollo 20
I hope you waited until after the Christmas rush to ship that

Hmm, I think Bruce is perhaps auditioning for one of @Dor_42 s "special assignments" there?

In that case he would need a male toad.*


















* not that there's anything wrong with that.

You guys can try all you want but we see what you’re up to. Scheme all you want, but there’s no way the toad is going to replace is guy as the official Omega Forums animal

@STANDY

Three and a half pages of foolish and fatuous comments.

I feel your pain, and as you have had no response to your request for $28,400 OBO I would be happy to make a firm and final offer of £20, cash transferred using eBay payment at your cost (don’t bother asking for bank transfer, I am wise to that one). I would expect you to deliver this highly collectible item.

Please DM me with your flight details.
Happy new year.

I will pay your full asking price. But, I'm in a COVID affected area so can't pick it up, in person.

How about I PayPal you your asking + $100, for your trouble to send it to me.

Oh, and I live in Nigeria. Make that asking + $200.
If you’re still in the market, I have a watch similar to Standy’s but with Sheikh ISA Bin Salma al Khalifa on the dial, it was a gift from Roy Rogers to Neil Armstrong.

Great talking to you the other day, @STANDY. Couldn't believe it was so long, those 3 hours flew by! Seiko has such an interesting history. I could just talk about watches all day. (Oh, sorry again about calling in the middle of the night. That timezone thing always confuses me.)

And thanks for the 147 pictures. Who knew dials have feet! Crazy.

I need to talk to my wife about this watch but I'm really excited about it as it's such a beauty. You're really lucky to own it. I don't even know why you're selling it, and at a loss!

Well, as you Aussies like to say, have a good day!

Talk soon.

Yah, just talked to my wife. I'm real sorry but now's not a great time what with the baby coming and trying to save for a house, not to mention the car repairs. Guess it wasn't meant to be. If you still have the watch in a couple years let me know.

Well, if you're ever in America look me up. You can buy me a beer. (Hah, hah.)

Your pal.

Oh damn, what time is it there? I think I did it again. Sorry, hope i didn't wake you.

How about what I used to hear all the time in Cebu City Philippines..."can I reserve this watch until the end of the month?" "what is your last price?" "can you bring it to Manila for authentication?"

Ok, this is my last and final offer, my perception of you is that you are a reasonable person so you won’t miss out on this.

I will trade you for this plus you cover both parties shipping fees plus customs and add a pappy van winkle bottle.
I’m loosing money here but you seem like a nice guy and I can imagine you’re in need of the money cause of COVID.

You have 10 minutes to decide.
I have other buyers.

(BTW, how are the mods putting up with this?!)
