Dears, I'm refocusing my collection on other vintage sport watches. I think I bought so much Rancheros Only two left and the following one is for sale. This is a white dial "panna" Ranchero. The reference is 2990-1. It was produced on October 17, 1958 and delivered to Italy according to the extract. It is in honest and nice conditions for his age. I bought it for his warm patina on the dial. The dial is free of scratches. It has a small spot near the center. You can see it from the pictures. The radium on the indexes is full and with a orange-brown color. The radium of the hands matches the color of the indexes. It is missing a small radium part in the minute hand. The hands show the typical oxidation on the metal seen in some examples. You can perfectly see the SWISS MADE writing under the 6 o' clock. The plexyglass is the original one with the old Omega logo at the center. It has a sign near 12 hours. It's a small crack but it is under the edge so not clearly visible when wearing the watch. The crown is an old service one. The case has been polished in the past. You can perfectly see the writing on the caseback : WATERPROOF. The movement is clean as you can see. It was serviced 2 years ago more or less. It's keeping good time. The watch comes with the extract of archives and a new Morellato strap as seen in pics. Included in the price: express courier for Europe with full insurance. Outside EU shipping must be discuted. € 4400 by bank transfer or paypal friends. The watch is located near Milan, Italy. I have references here and on other forums. Please check my Instagram: cuttysarkwatches Thanks Nico
Not sure how I missed this! The Ranchero has always been a big favorite of mine, and the only favorite Ω that I have yet to get my hands on ... I should know better than to take a weeklong break from this fine forum! congratulations to both of you..
I was trying to get a bid in while out at my son's practice, in an area with poor cellular signal. It moved a little too fast in the last 30 seconds and both bids I tried to put in were already too low when they went through. Glad you made the sale, and the new owner should be happy.
The watch has arrived to destination and the buyer is really happy with it! Thank you all for the interest, for the messages and for the compliments Nico
Refer back to this thread the next time a member complains about really, really wanting a nice Ranchero but it’s such a minefield to find a correct example. Shoulda woulda coulda.
Agreed. We always hear bitching and moaning about how good watches get posted elsewhere by OF members rather than offering them to this collective....yeah.
