Omega Speedmaster 105.003-64 Ed White eBay Auction

Hello Folks

Anyone else.. silly question.. watching this rather odd auction yesterday? Started at 100 for a 24 hour auction. Price kept jumping and falling.. 5 retracted/cancelled bids.. and then ended 10 minutes early and marked as sold.

it would be a steal.

was watching, but it smelled very fishy.

In the morning the bids were in the 1000's by the afternoon they were back in the 100's

I was watching this one too but my interest died when it got over $4k. I had planned to stay up late to bid on it as it closed, but as the bids got higher I decided on a good night's sleep instead! Then this morning I woke up and checked the auction and saw all shenanigans that are noted above and consider that I may have had a close escape. Am I alone in actually liking the look with no bezel?

It ended at $2500 but the auction did not end.. so he pulled it. On Ebay it sates "This listing was ended by the seller because the item was sold"

It ended 10 minuets before scheduled.. not sure what the racket here was.

I did like the no bezel look too.. though I would have likely added one at some point.

That is definitely is catnip for collectors. The idea you can create value. Many collectors have DON's waiting for a marriage.

A bezeless watch purchase from 2018.

This fella has been continuing the antics.. every day a new 24 hour listing that he ends before it should. Very odd. Can't figure what he would gain by it.

I found the source of the images for this one.

Gosh, look at that dial and sharp CB case.

He is snagging a buyer and convincing them to buy off eBay by bank transfer and then taking the money. He does not have any watches and its a hacked account. Latest Rolex offering has photos taken from here

Yeah I had found that one as well. What’s odd is he keeps blocking accounts.

I’ve reported every listing but no action from eBay.
