ยทI am selling my 9-year-old FOiS (purchased new by me in 2016). I do not have the box for it, only the warranty and pictogram cards (as pictured). Comes on a newish Forstner contemporary flat link bracelet with the new micro-adjust clasp, but will include the well-worn, but still serviceable original strap. I will ship in a nice padded leatherette watch case (pictured).
I had the watch serviced a year ago by my local, Omega-certified watchmaker. Unfortunately, I can't find the receipt for it, so you will just have to take my word for it. I do not want to open the case to show the movement because I do not have the proper tool to do so. If you require this before buying a used watch, please look elsewhere.
Many dealers would probably list this as "excellent" condition, but I am realistic and would call it "worn, in good to very good condition." Case has not been polished, bezel is not dented. There is a small nick on the upper right lug (I tried to photograph it, but it is hard to see). There are numerous micro-scratches on the back of the lugs from strap changes, but no scratches on sides or tops of lugs.
The only other issue I know of of is the central seconds hand was aligned just to the left of center after the service. I tried to show this in the photos. I didn't even notice it for several months. And, my brand new Speedmaster Pro has the hand aligned the same way, so this is within spec. If this level of "imperfection" bothers you, please look elsewhere. I will not accept a return for this "issue" because I reported it here.
Only reason I'm selling this is because I bought a new Speedmaster Pro with the 3861 movement and I don't have room in my collection for two Speedmasters. Price is $3750 which includes insured shipping (signature required) in the United States. I accept PayPal, Zelle, or wire transfers. Happy to accept credit cards via PayPal and I will eat the fees.
I would prefer selling this in the US to avoid any delays from customs -- I've had problems with buyers getting irritated at delays before. If you are overseas (or Canada) reach out and we can discuss options, but I will likely ask for more shipping so I can send it overnight via UPS or FedEX.
If anyone is local to Florida and would be willing to drive to St. Pete to pick this up, I can reduce the price to $3500.
Happy to send more photos or videos showing the watch working, or to arrange a video chat. Just PM me.
