Maybe a new thread for entry level collectors (like me) to see potential low cost opportunities?
Just spotted this Constellation on Ebay (I assume 14902 model). Time is running out quickly on this so doubt we'll get any photographs of the movement and caseback before it ends (2hrs 30mins). The lugs look over-polished but there may be some OF members out that can over look this.

Sold at 1120 GBP good price IMO
Na its all good mate, I’d just been focusing more on entry level stuff that new members buying their first Omega may be interested in rather than higher end big ticket items which tend to be identified and watch listed by dozens as soon as they appear, I had a few people pick up the Geneves, DeVilles and C-Cases I’d mentioned and PM me about them as they arrived and were cleaned up to wear so that sort of made me want to focus on that side a bit more.
Yea I get what you’re saying, I’ve had some good buys out of Israel in the past and I checked the sellers feedback out and it wasn’t terrible, the nice thing with a Seamaster 562 at a cheapish price is you can take it in steps and get the watch, maybe wear it on a couple of occasions while saving up for the service, then after service have a pretty nice solid piece and while its not crazy low, the last few 166.002/166.003 references went for a fair bit more and this one (which is nicer for sure) is already above that with over a day left to bid:

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

Apologies if my question is against the spirit of this thread - what would be a "good" price for a watch like this in this condition?
It’s not an exact science.
You check the photos and seller's remarks and search on line for comparable models, You check sold listings on eBay and elsewhere.
You assess the condition.
You factor in tax, postage and a possible service at some stage. You balance how much you like it with what you want to spend.
It’s currently in the ballpark (never sure if that’s one or two words).
Thanks! Been checking this forum and ebay past listings but getting confused as to why some sell for a lot more than others (guessing certain features are just more prized by collectors...)
