The fear of course is that the watch is not being re-sold but instead the pictures from the polish auction are being used to sell a watch not in the possession of the ebay seller!
End auction price was ~$1000 and while 1500 is a bit high, it's not terrible if and only if it is a legitimate sale!

Relumed but when the seller said this in the listing: UNDOUBTEDLY ONE OF THE FINEST EXAMPLES YOU WILL FIND ON EBAY. he wasn't exaggerating.
Interesting. I am personally on the lookout for either a nice www or a decent priced '53. I am still quite the watch noob, though. Would you mind explaining why a relumed dial is fine, when a repainted dial is a no-go?
A relumed dial (hopefully) did not ruin the original paint and the lume can be carefully removed - especially from the hands. Once a dial is refinished it can never be original again - the paint has been stripped and replaced.
A relumed dial and hands can be rectified as Dennis pointed out and don't detract much from an otherwise well preserved original dial. Also it was common for military watches from the 1940s to 1950s to have the original radium lume replaced with tritium lume - sometimes referred to among the military watch enthusiasts as "pepsodent lume." That's because these watches were stored in quantity and there was a concern that the radium lume in a confined, small space would be a safety issue. And going back to the watch at issue - it is a very nice example, won't go cheap but the sort to pursue if you are interested in owning an omega www timepiece.
Hi. In the title of this thread it mentions "(not inquiries)". Start a new thread asking about that listing please!

I like it. May give it a go. I just have one clarification question, to further my learning curve. Are the black inserts on the hands & hour markers usually painted or onyx? Ok, I have a second question. Same seller has also listed same watch as a BIN for $500. Is BIN reasonable or too high? Checking closed/completed Ebay auctions only somewhat help. BIN looks maybe reasonable, IMO,
Should be painted. It's a late 60's watch and Omega stopped using onyx by the mid 60's. (I think) For the condition, the fact it's gold plated, and the replacement crown I'd say it's a smidge too high. I like the dial not having lume - that's a little less often seen version. $450 is the max I'd go for a non-chronometer 166.032 like that.
Looks like a nice Flightmaster. http://www.ebay.com/itm/330902899836?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
Dennis, are you saying the crown is not original to the watch? I looked it up on Ofrei and can't tell the difference.
