Went for close to $1,000 USD including the shipping charge, but not including customs and tax. More than I expected for sure.
Given we in the UK now get hit by Customs/Tax for pieces from Mainland Europe, I think local demand for UK watches has gone up. I wonder if that played a role.
In that condition and with the box + Omega strap and buckle, the price doesn't seem high to me. The 165 and 166.003 were the top end of the 60s dress Seamaster range.
It’s almost never 20% on import to the UK as well.
With carriers like DHL, once everything’s added up, it’s closer to 30%.

I'm eagerly awaiting its arrival. Shipping from the EU to the US has been painfully slow with Covid. My last acquisition from Slovenia took 6 weeks to arrive.
I wish my detective skills were a little stronger and I was a little less risk adverse. I tend to limit my searches to the US which definitely results in fewer "good deals" on nice watches. I have this mostly wrong idea in my head that if someone in the US tries to cheat me on Ebay I can find a way out of it but probably not from other countries. This thread is super helpful because it gives that added confidence when looking outside the US.
This one looks terrible in photos like it has smudges on the dial or something but in the first two photos you can see they’re actually shadows from marks on the crystal and they move around the dial depending on the direction of the light, it’ll be nice when cleaned up, going off in 4 hours

Gold capped Seamaster 752 Sparkle dial with bracelet, photos are a bit rubbish and crystal is scratched up a bit but should clean up well
