Plenty of interest, bargain? You’d have to factor in a service on top of purchase price but quite rare nowadays

After having bought 17 watches in the first half of 2022, I can't help but feel the watches up for sale lately have dried up, both in quantity and quality. I wonder if you guys feel the same.

It’s feast or famine. It really seems to come in waves and the tide has been out recently.

Nothing to lose with this one. If you buy it and find out it’s going to be too expensive to fix you can get a refund on the basis that it’s misdescribed in the title.

I think they refer to it as not working currently so not sure how you would return it unless it wasn’t a genuine Omega but my guess it is. Either way it needs servicing so add 5-600 if minor parts are needed.

I was making a joke. They describe it as a Jedi in the title. It isn’t, hence misdescribed.

Quite a nice looking Seiko World Timer going off in under 2 hours. Not an early version but I like these watches and they seem to be going up in value pretty quickly.

My only worry is that it doesn’t appear to have a valid serial number on the back but it might have been disguised.

I’m sorry, humour it not my strong point in a text written exchange. Not the square dial version but isn’t it also referred to as a Jedi?

Serial no is 151160 looking at the case back. May 1971 approx.

Dirty, but also dirt cheap two figures Eterna-Matic.

The circular drag mark at the center of the dial would be too much for me even at this price. But if a person could live with that, it is a heck of a lot of watch for the money.

Hmm, I checked that number on watchsleuth and it came up unfindable. Maybe I mistyped.

Rather than try to explain, here’s an interesting article about the Jedi nickname error.

One hour left on this decent Cyma bumper. I'd go for it myself if it weren't in the UK.

Apologies, wasn't aware of that rule, thank you for letting me know. I thought there was a posting glitch on my end before as I did not see the original post, but I'll delete this post.

I can't understand why so many people post photos of their watch crystal-down on stone, though, especially outdoors with the case back removed 😕

I don't disagree that it's not historically high but from the others that are listed on eBay it was looking like a discount. Additionally that was the recommended listing starting bid.

I have firsthand experience with the actual market price for this reference. And the opening bid on this would be a fair sales price for a perfect example IMO. This one has a damaged dial and damaged hands.

Why post a watch in this thread based on comparisons with eBay asking prices? Asking prices mean nothing. And your comment about the "recommended listing starting bid" ... what does that even mean? Are you using this thread to promote your own listing? Really bad form. 👎

Yes, this listing is theirs and it is the second time they have tried promoting it.

Well, in that case, let me just reiterate that I don't recommend buying this damaged watch.
