    Sorry for all the questions, but I will "give back" one day.

    I have got watches in my eBay "watchlist" that do not show up in searches.

    Like currently I have about 3 Speedmasters in my watchlist. If I search Omega or Speedmaster etc they do not show up.

    This link is from my watchlist. And it does not show up in searches. Why? Or am I missing something?

    Put another way: (searching auctions only)

    If I search "Omega 3750.50" I get Speedmasters listed with "Omega" and "Speedmaster" in the title.

    But, if I search "Omega Speedmaster" then those same items don't get listed.

    So I am not sure at all how many listings I am missing.

    Please, my new hobby depends on trying to sort this out.

    That's because all 3750.50 are Speedmaster, but not all Speedmaster are 3750.50, if you know the specific model, then include that in your search, but it all depends how the listing is defined.

    I understand what you are saying, but;

    I am searching "Omega Speedmaster" and items with both those words in the title don't show up in the results.
    Read my second post again.

    See the image. Those 2 watches showed up when searching for "Omega 3750.50" but NOT when searching for "Omega Speedmaster"
