Another very nice watch restricted to USA only, regrettably. Seller is quite explicit about his reasons in his/her listing - the familiar issues, much debated on OF. It's a shame for sure.
Yea it’s always possible to get a friend in the US to help too though

This is a really nice condition example of the 168.045 integrated Cal 751 Day-Date Constellation, you don’t see these in this nice a shape often.

This one’s got a day left now, I think its likely to go for one of the highest prices I’ve seen a 168.045 go for just because of the condition coupled with the fact that it has been serviced, I probably wouldn’t go any further on it from this point unless you really love this case shape.

Seamaster De Ville automatic non-date presentation watch with matching inner and outer box, I believe this one is a re-list. Very clean looking watch and set.

Yah, got no bids last time and I missed it. I messaged the seller about it and he said he would relist ... at the same price though. Maybe I'll toss an opening bid and let it ride! 😀

company inscription info from wikipedia:
"McCall Corporation was an American publishing company that produced some popular magazines. These included Redbook for women, Bluebook for men, McCall's, the Saturday Review, and Popular Mechanics. It also published Better Living, a magazine that was distributed solely through grocery stores.

The company is named after the founder of its namesake magazine, James McCall, who was a Scottish tailor. Redbook and Bluebook were purchased in 1929. The Saturday Review was purchased in 1961.

In later years, Marvin Pierce, the father of Barbara Bush, served as the McCall Corporation's president.[1]

A controlling stake in the company was bought by Norton Simon's Hunt Foods in 1956. It became a division of Norton Simon Inc., along with Hunt and Canada Dry, in 1968.

The Saturday Review was sold in 1971,[2] and McCall's was sold in 1973,[3] both to groups of private investors. Redbook was sold to the Charter Company in 1975"

I found the same inner box to go with my gold Seamaster de Ville recently. These were really nice back in the day.

Yea good call, its probably the nicest of all 166.0209 dials that one, I’ll be writing about that reference and its sister the 166.0202 in the coming weeks.

Here’s another shot of a similar example, hopefully after cleaning up yours looks a lot like this on the wrist


Well the watch arrived safely. Here is a quick pic from an overcast day in NYC. All in after taxes, shipping, etc. at around $520 which I think is a good price. Seller even sent a couple of extra straps when he shipped it. @dsio thanks for the great recommendation and everything else you do to keep this site up and running.

The first Omega Deauville to be listed no reserve since I wrote the article on these cool watches and it’s a great condition example too! This is a very sharp and clean example with purple snot on the caseback, there’s some dust on the dial as you can see it move in the different pictures, the dial is mint. Reference is 155.005 powered by the Cal 684 automatic

Nice looking 168.004 hidden crown pie-pan constellation in gold-cap

https://www.ebay.com/itm/125591816945


A good looking watch.
Whilst 168.004s aren't 'rare' in themselves, as a '62 marked version it is quite special for being the first release of its kind with a 6-digit reference.
(Just be aware of the $125 postage charge!)

Honestly didn’t expect this one to cross $1k but the condition does make it a very attractive piece

Bit pricey for a later Geneve
Yea it was $300 when I posted it, didn’t expect it to go that high. Decent piece still.
