So I assumed this was a redial because of the missing lume and the double-strike line from 7 to 10 o'clock - I gather I was mistaken.
I'm assuming someone did, there's more likelihood of a chicken wing getting past a gauntlet of hungry Siamese cats than an uncommon Seamaster chronometer making it through eBay without anyone here taking a shot.
i finished at $1070. i had the strong feeling, that somebody with a collection along this line would bid a lot....kind regards. achim
I know I watched it like a hawk. There's just that pain in the arse $1000 dollar rule for importing into Australia that is too difficult with pieces like this.
I thought the same. Do you mean to say that Omega produced a dial with that odd looking double strike?
Mate, you were lucky. I've had them pull 2 of mine and got nailed for duty, GST, the lot. Plus it takes a while to get through.
I think maybe the double line was from a minute hand or second hand touching the dial. Lume on the dial might have been cleaned off, and the lume on the hands look a little new.
dial was good for the age and correct. lume on hands look like paint from the back. lume on dial desintegrated.and for postage into australia: use some other description, like " old horological steelcase...." or " old steelpart back from repair to owner..." these all describe watches without mentioning the word.....let it swim with the flow of parcels and declare a value of A$ 150. that gives it a special handling without attracting attention along the way. use a registered shipment with internet tracking an all will be fine. it is a different thing with goldwatches.....goldplated .....kind regards. achim
Might have also been the line missing the divider between the light center portion and the dark outer rim of the dial.
Wow! lume on both sides of the marker, now that's cool. Crap, all the good ones are in Mike's collection. edit: Sorry Kyle thought this was Mike's, looks like his photog
