[Taliesin1977]

Hello everyone.
I was looking at this omega Aqua Terra and considering buying It but, i don't have that much experience with watches so i can't confidently if it's real or not. Here are the photos, i can add more if necessary. Thanks in advance.

In a no reserve auction they go for 2500-3500 on average depending on condition, some outliers go for more or less, private sales or buy it now will be slightly higher

The reference number on the photo of the card is different than the reference number cited in the thread title. The last five digits in the thread title are 01.001. The last five digits on the card are 06.001. I don’t know if that is significant, but I would check before pulling the trigger on a purchase.

Just checked. The 06.001 is the grey dial. The 01.001 is the blue dial Skyfall model - I’d be very surprised to see one of those going full kit for $2,500-$3,500 USD.

Yea the Ref on the card does match the dial of the watch, might be someone tried looking it up based on the dial color and confused the colors, I think the 01.001 is black dial rather than blue and pretty close visually depending on lighting

Yes, hard to tell from the photos. Just wanted to clarify whether the OP thinks that he is getting the out of production Skyfall model. For the blue dial, that would be a steal for $2,500-$3,500.
