··Ash @ ΩFDial has some discoloration but… its $300 buy it now for a Geneve 14752, which is an uncommon sort of oversized bezel version of the Geneve, calibre 600. This particular case is quite nice.

·This isn't the place for inquiries (see last few words of the thread title...), both for the sake of others and yourself. Create a new thread with your questions, it'll keep this one clean and focussed on what it's about and you're more likely to get better replies.
An evaluation of those two can be summed up with one word, though: "Pass". Both significantly polished, first one has an incorrect crown, the dial damage on the steel example is way beyond attractive, and the price for either one is completely unreasonable in that condition. No offense, but if you are unsure if the gold-capped example is polished and if the crown is correct, I'd strongly recommend taking a few more months to look at good examples here and compare them. You'll develop an eye for it and will make the hunt much easier (as well as possibly slightly frustrating as you start to realize how few of them are actually left in an attractive shape).

thank you - and sorry, I didn’t read properly. Anyway, thanks for your sharp reply as it’s exactly the input I’d need from anyone who understands more about it than me. I’ll go for a new thread.

·Heh, quick fingers! Although probably a bit of luck, I was driving so had to pull over and rely on mobile data on my phone. I didn't know there were snipe services, that seems like cheating! 😁

··understands the decision making hierarchyThey have been mentioned here hundreds of times with tales of wrong bids, failed bids and compromised security.
Nothing beats hard work.

Edit: so best bid in a closing snipe is how I approach Ebay if I can.

·We have lots of threads from members asking opinions on watches listed on ebay. How about we turn things around - let's talk about watches on ebay that are worth purchasing. My disclaimer is that I am not affiliated with any of the sellers whose watches I post here and cannot make any guarantees except to say the watch in the listing looks good to me.
Here is one - a nice looking vintage seamaster:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/261094371580?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
And a nice looking vintage piepan constellation - I would like better pictures but the ones up in the listing suggest a decent watch. What makes this uncommon is that the markers are silver and not yellow gold. Seller accepts returns so you have some level of security.

··understands the decision making hierarchyIs it just me, or are a big percentage of "Recommended" watches C-cased?
I have one, a 145-020 and I like it, but it is a distinctive design and feel.
Seems like these move a lot.
Do you sense any of this and do I need to move this to another thread before I get yelled at?
