Another really nice clean UK based 166.003 Seamaster in great condition, these are a really nice case and reference, later variant with the Cal 565 too

That one hit $1525 which I think is a bit on the high side for just a gold-cap pie pan, interesting how so many Seamasters and Devilles seem to go so low of late but pie pan prices are always staying strong
^ hah, I think my brain wouldn’t allow me to see it since it said “needs work”
This one isn’t bad if it stays cheap, 752 Seamaster day-date in steel, not sure how I didn’t see it sooner as it ends in 7 hours, maybe it listed today

This one isn’t perfect the hands are a bit scruffy but at $530 there’s room to resolve that at service and if they took a lower offer even better. 166.002 with Calibre 562 are a nice reference that goes cheaper than they should, doesnt help when the photos are horrible either

I appreciate you, @dsio, for sharing all these Omega watches, but I feel like this thread has been clogged up a bit recently. I had email alerts set up for this thread and when a really unique watch would come up on the bay it sometimes would hit this thread. It's okay if this is the change this thread is going to make, but I feel like a bit of its shine has been lost...
Just one man's opinion. Don't ban me please. 😁
I looked at this one briefly, but the abbreviated seller’s description and the heavily polished case (look at the case back photo) made it a pass for me.
I’ll play Devil’s advocate. Although I’ve only bought one watch based on this thread, it was a very nice gold capped pie pan Connie that has become one of my favorites. The more frequent addition of recommendations for less expensive but good quality Omega watches (e.g, more modern Geneves, Cosmics, certain other Seamaster models) does a real service for OF newbies who are still learning to navigate the minefield that is trying to find the few gems among the junk peddled on eBay.

On a separate note, this watch has been on the bay forever, it's coming out of Israel which is a minefield in of itself in terms of watches and ebay... All in with taxes which ebay collects these days even when ordered internationally (here in the US), customs, watch hands missing lume, and the service it is going to need and this is a hard pass for me.
