To put everyone out of the

Currently a good price with 7 hours to go.

Were I to buy it, I’d have the hands and indices sympathetically cleaned and the case too, as and when I got it serviced.

 

Already have my eye on this one!
Although with 27 bids so far I’m expecting the price to jump up quite a bit.

 

Good luck, these are nice watches

 

So I'll give it another try, dial and hands seem to be very nice on this one:

Success!
Managed to fend off a snipe in the dying seconds to secure my first Omega purchase.
Big thanks to the OF over the past couple of months for invaluable info and advice.

 

We’ll look forward to seeing it

 

Congrats!

 

But first, I need to find a strap…or two!

 

How did you fend off a snipe?

With a counter-snipe?

 

Two snipes fighting

 

You can choose the time gap before the bidding closes on some of the services but with a risk that your offer may not get tendered.
The only other way to beat a snipe is a sniper with a deeper pocket as far as I know.
Please pm the secrets @Mush, but only to me please.

 

@UncleBuck @arturo7 Nothing so tactical as counter or preemptive snipes! Just set a higher max l bid I guess. The price jumped from £340 to £460 in the last 2 sec, I had set my limit at £500.
