Hi Friends,
I went on a business trip to Richmond the other day. While I had some free time, I walked down the street into a pawn shop. The shop has some Rolex’s out that didn’t do much for me. However, I asked the owner if he had any more vintage watches available. He said, “I have this old Omega, and I will have to sell it as is. I’ll take $1500 for it”. “What do you mean “as is”, I asked. “It needs to be cleaned’, he replied. “Do you know of anything wrong?”, I asked. He replied, “No, it works okay, it just needs to be cleaned”.
I said I wanted to do a little research, and went back to the Hotel to check it out on the web. Didn’t take me long to get the picture, stop at the bank for some cash, and go back to the shop. I tried to ask if he would take less, but he said he would rather keep it. So out comes the cash, and back to the hotel I went with my new toy.
Please share your thoughts. I think I got a nice piece. This is my first Seamaster 300 and from the brief research, it seems to be all original.
Cheers to all, Bruce
