Always tack some odd pennies onto the end of an eBay snipe bid. If your bid and a very slightly lower one come in at the same time, you can actually outbid a competitor by a few cents. It’s the one known loophole in the eBay proxy bidding system.
Sure, but it's the number chosen that made me giggle like a school girl. 😁
Looks like there's a little ding in the bezel but that wouldn't bother me too much, depending on the price. Easier to overlook that sort of thing on the steel bezel.
The 3594.50 looks good on the Forstner "President" style bracelet IMO too 😉.
This was my first Speedmaster, purchased from my watchmaker head-only in 2016. Being matte and monochrome, it is a total strap monster that looks good on basically anything!
WOW! Good catch! I didn't even see that.
One other note about the 3594.50: the hands are somewhat prone to corrosion. My understanding is that Omega would replace these as necessary during service, but I have seen unserviced examples where the hands have some pitting. Just something to watch out for.
That being said ... looking at one in Canada on C24, here are some pics:

Always be wary of the link count on a pre-owned watch. My quick count is there are three links missing on the one you are looking at from Canada. It might fit your wrist as is, but if you need a link or two it's a bit of money and a hassle.
Always loved this model since I read about RJs one on Fratello. Thought it would look great with a standard black pro bezel, rather than the steel, especially when on a nato of leather.
Steel bezel does suit the bracelet mind you. Only criticism I’ve noticed from pictures is the hands can look lost with the dark grey dial.
Well, fellow addicts, the title had to be edited.since there's no "maybe" anymore. A few of you heard an offhand comment that one was coming soon. That soon ended up being today.
While this thread was underway, one of our esteemed members reached out to me with a seriously prime example of the 3594.50 and considering the price I was willing to pay for the one in the auction, he must have felt sorry for me.
This one is mint. Really. I don't know how many times this has been in wrist, but it seems like I could count it on one hand. Leather case is in amazing condition. The bracelet is in great shape with obvious brushing and since it's a 1998, has the pressure clasp with 100% grip. Resized to a perfect fit with minimal effort.
Behold ... My socks, apparently lol
