Funny listing, but starting a post in the "Recommended..." thread with "I'm not recommending it" kind of gives the game away that this isn't the right place.
not Ebay but an auction house in Glasgow ( I have no link to the auction house) lovely gold cap hidden crown Connie super sunburst champagne dial difficult to tell if has onyx inserts a little bit polished on the edges of the lugs http://www.mctears.co.uk/auctions/l...442a-9bf8-5e75fb74ff0e&page=1&referrer=browse £400-£600 estimate -usual price nowadays I'd be in for it myself if I hadn't just bought a near identical (but later) version from French Ebay
Another nice pie-pan at a reasonable price (for now): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Ori...AL-14K-Gold-amp-S-Steel-c-1960s-/252084396828Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network Good luck, gatorcpa
Nice dial, but that case does look quite a bit polished (the lugs at least do). Are those hands original to the watch? If so, shouldn't it read "Swiss made T" then?
Gold capped cases are rarely as sharp as solid steel or gold. Has to do with the fact that the gold cap is put on after the case is machined. I judge these by looking at the medallion. Watch is older 5-digit reference. That means pre-1963 and before the "T" requirements. Although some manufacturers used them before they were mandated. Hope this helps, gatorcpa
Probably true. Look, the watch isn't perfect. If you can get it under $1K, it's a good buy and the correct hand is available. Otherwise, I'd take a pass. gatorcpa
Here another early 1960's pie-pan. This one has the "full monty". Original leather and metal bands, inner/outer box, and paperwork. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Omega-Const...005-167-0005-with-box-papers-NR-/400983495299Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network Think I'm going to sit back and watch this one... gatorcpa
So am I .... now ... now that it's been OF't. Gents, if it's that good someone here is already on it....was on it
Ah, we're not as widely read as you think. Your main competitors are already here and have likely seen it already. Now Hodinkee is another story. gatorcpa
