^$4,100!^ someone got a great deal.
Yea IMO these are among the best vintage Speedmaster buys in general but the 1171 bracelet probably turned some buyers off, IMO if you’re buying it to wear the 1171 is a better bracelet to have anyway and if it knocks the price down, great. That’s less money than 3570.50 Cal 1861 models have gone for lately and its a much more significant and special model.

I for one did not know it was posted here - found that out half an hour ago. People looking for vintage Speedy would have known about the listing. Anyway, always regretted selling my 69er so this should make up for lost time 😎

It’s paid and on its way so should be able to update soon.

Damn I love it 🙄
Sorry for the sub-par pic. The 1039/516 is at full length and in very good condition. Dial looks flawless to my eye but will further inspect throughout the week. It runs wonderfully. Nice sharp case. Truly stoked with this one!

Very nice clean Geneve manual-wind Cal 601 in steel, later 1970’s example from the dial design going no reserve in the UK, GREAT starter piece

This one goes off in 11 hours, quite a nice example

No sale (no bids) at $950 reserve price. I think these sparklers are beautiful but, with its cal 750 17j movement (mis-described in seller's headline), I couldn't love it quite enough at that price. A no-reserve auction would have seen it away easily, but not all sellers like to do that unfortunately!

Yea while it’s only a Cal 750, the case and dial condition of that example imo makes it quite a reasonable buy at that price as when they’re razor sharp and clean these look almost like a brand new watch despite being over 50 years old, one of Omegas best designs imo

This 145.022 CRS Circa ~1981 is one of the lesser known oddball 022 references, needs a pusher and a crystal but should clean up well and stay quite cheap, these CRS cases are a little bit unusual and have that early Speedmaster look with the 1171 bracelet and tritium dial but carry no price premium which is cool.

Just found that the seller re-listed it with the exact same price..
OMEGA Constellation Silver Men's Watch - 168.033 | eBay
OMEGA Constellation Silver Men's Watch - 168.033 | eBay (and also an ongoing auction)

Now it already looks like a scam, unfortunately. I texted the seller to ask about the delivery, but wondering if it makes sense to report it immediately?
Short update - the watch has actually arrived. Thanks to @dsio for the recommendation!
