Well, cats outta the bag on this one. Was hoping it would squeak by unnoticed…..::facepalm1::

Bear in mind it looks like a 1067 flat link, not a 1035/9

Yea they’re close enough for most people but originally were meant for SM300s Railmaster and other things. I actually don’t like flat links in general on Speedmasters but do like them on Constellations and Seamasters.

168.0056 caliber 1011 C-Case. Crappy pictures but looks like it will clean up nice. Appears to be a reputable seller specializing in coins and these later versions aren't quite as desirable. All of that may let it fly under the radar and go cheap.

Just under two hours left on this one.

^Horrible photos though - blurred and under pink disco lighting. I know there isn't a lot of sunshine in UK atm, but it's asking a lot of the buyer, which is a shame.

Yea the amount eBay sellers lose by taking garbage photos must be enormous

Looks different and awesome.
Anything to take into consideration and think of before I proceed with a deal?
Looking for vintage Omega for every day use.
If it’s serviced nothing wrong with using it every day, most of the info you’d need is in the article I linked

Semi-hidden crown Constellation in gold-cap, quite decent going off in 3 hours

https://www.ebay.com/itm/115733412195

Description from the seller is a bit confusing:

24J 564 movement runs strong and keeps excellent time over 24,H

quick set works (position 3)

date changes approx 8

sweep second hand slightly touches hour hand adjustment/straightening recommended


SOLD AS NOT RUNNING / PARTS AND REPAIR

Yea I just assume anything coming off ebay needs service, even when they say serviced it means little. Currently at $355 though so lots of room to get it sorted.

This one seemed to end with only 1 bid, seller relisted:

Was watching this one and thinking of putting in a bid. The seller ended the auction 5min before it was supposed to end. I'm guessing he was afraid it would sell lower than what he wanted. Seller is now on my avoid list.

Yeh that did seem fishy to me and left a bad taste in my mouth

Calibre 552 Geneve in steel, not a bad looking example with a rough crystal

https://www.ebay.com/itm/204286737877


Out of this world - at least the seller’s BIN price of £999.00 is!

Mind you, a starting price of £0.99 over 6 days is substantially more realistic.

What puzzles me slightly is why a UK seller has posted the 'About this item' details in Italian.

Even with a nice looking 552 movement, I’ll be surprised if this gets much beyond £400.00
