eBay gives you an option to list for free if you opt for the “make offer” selection. As @Nepomuceño said, it disappears once someone bids. Sometimes if you act fast with a realistic offer they will bite. But once some idiot throws in a $3 bid, we all lose the chance to grab it fast.
We'll keep an eye on this one. Could go lower at auction than the original $180 buy now. Only problem is waiting 😉

Yet another good deal from our OF friend.

Listen up bargain hunters- this is one of the big ones at 38mm! For all those who bemoan the smaller sizes of the vintage pieces- this is as close to a vintage jumbo as you will get without the vintage jumbo price tag. Plus this is a timeless design- Omega could put this watch out today and it would look classic. Bracelets do pop up so you can hunt for one.
This is a bargain in the utmost.

Agreed! I told you all the @Toishome is one to watch. Always good watches for a fair price and usually serviced!

It looks just fine on a leather strap. I wouldn't want a bracelet unless I was just trying for a perfect from the factory look.

I finally binned the Speidel clone I'd had on my Midland and put it on a low cost but very nice leather strap similar to the one on that Omega. Much more comfortable and I wear it longer and more often now than since I got it.

Hi Bill, Indeed it was someone here. Seller has had a couple of pieces pop up on the wonderful thread and I had exchanged emails with him on one of them but didn’t buy in the end. So knowing most people who contribute within this thread are passionate and knowledge in most things vintage plus your strong recommend for this piece I hit the buy now button as I’m currently low on blue dial watches.
Thanks for all the effort you guys put into not only this thread but the whole forum it’s a great place to lurk and learn and then contribute when having something to say.

Here’s a nice looking piece. It doesn’t say stainless steel on the back but I think it is. Very clean. Described as 70s but I wonder if it’s modern retro it’s so crisp.

Should this be marked Made in GDR, Germany, or GUB or if post-unification some indication that its German Glashütte? I'm not knowledgable about German watches.

Hi Everyone...

If you like white gold and a large tank ... this is your honeysuckle... !! I was initially put off with the diamond dial .... but works overall... I had this model for a while and my friend bought it off my wrist !!

I am tempted to getting this one... but wanted to share the wealth...

Dead Link/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0...97.m4902.l9144&campid=5338755308&toolid=20008

Good Hunting and looking @

Seller is calling it unisex but seems to be a nice women's diver. Could be a nice gift. Sweet looking ETA. https://www.ebay.com/itm/254801668894

I like it a lot. At 28mm it is definitely a woman's watch. The H link bracelet is super cool.
