Thank you Sir! I am very happy with my purchase. Even the bracelet is in excellent condition(despite the look in the last photo, she is reflecting the light). The only major issue - the price i paid 😀

The only major issue - the price i paid

Back in college I used to work for a guy that bought cars at a high end car auction operation. His motto was always to buy the absolutely best examples in top condition regardless of price. His line of thought was that while his competition might beat his price, no one had better cars and his stuff was the best. Works great for him and he is still doing it.

Similarly, my great-grandfather, who was proudly working class, said “People like us can’t afford to buy cheap.”

Thank you so much guys. You speak so right and reassuring. Besides was not "short" 2-300 € for a connie and I paid no tax so I am happy with my purchase.

That s excellent fishing! However the case seems in a pretty rough shape and the dial looks like it has seen better days? At least from the photos. 400 bucks though seems a very good deal

I've bought mint examples wildly cheaper than that and with original bracelets when living overseas but it doesn't make Yomega's watch worth any less.

Overseas the prices drop considerably (no EU vat?). Also, it seems like the prices have gone up recently, no more 400$ connies.
