Yes. You are missing that I would like to acquire it myself on the cheap.

I wondered if that was it but I was thrown by the absence of emoticons!

That one is a 9 if you count the outside links, 7 if you don't. Whether it's 9s and 7s or 7s and 5s has IIRC been discussed before on here but I can't be bothered to look for that discussion. I don't feel strongly about it either way and am just going with what I think is in more common use.

What an absolute blinder of a Seamaster, looks 100% original, near NOS and with a 7-row BOR. This has to be either a 354, a 501 or just possibly a 500. The seller obviously has no idea about watches and if a) I didn't already have a 354 SM chrono b) I hadn't overspent recently, I'd be going for this and not worrying about the lack of a movement photo. Rare in this condition: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Omega-vintage-watch-/122284986052?hash=item1c78c0cec4:g:YR0AAOSwnHZYYSVo

That went for a lot more than I was willing to pay. Besides I couldn't bid on it anyway it turned out...

I wonder why this hasn't been snapped up yet. If I hadn't bought a 168.034 recently, this would have been on the way to me.

I might actually send him an offer.
Nice piece certainly but I guess the Finnish date wheel may be putting people off, can't say my Finnish is up to snuff and from my little understanding of N Euro linguistics, it wont be all that similar to Danish either. I suppose a replacement wheel isn't impossible to source though...

Day-Date are nonstarters for me. That Eterna bracelet might be worth a couple hundred USD. It might be a good deal to purchase and separate.

I hope a new member has the smarts to snatch it fast before some eBay vendor does and relisted it for $1000.

Date wheels for these are not hard to find.

Maybe people don't want to wait until after 7 July to get their watch (this is at the bottom of his ad):

"ATTENTION! I'm out of town till July 7, so shipping will be possible since that date."

If I liked the watch, I would buy it. Just doesn't scratch any itches for me.

Some people find room for them in their collections, albeit often versions with more text on the dial 😉

I've sent the seller an offer... He'll ignore it, if he knows his stuff 😁

That note is ten years old... Odd listing.

That may be a mistake? However the rest of his terms sound egregious and downright snity . I would withdrawn any dealing with the seller.

He's from Finland. They're considered odd even by Scandinavian standards 😜

I have heard the Finnish women are very quiet.

That went for only 612 quid! Serves me right for not checking more often.
