At least - it's not just the case material but the case reference (screwback case) is also more desirable.
This one will clean up nicely once serviced and the crown is replaced with the correct one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/OMEGA-SEAMA...067277668?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item3f1cde6964Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
Dejavu, was just looking at that, slightly OT but why is it that on these date at 6 Seamasters they often look like the date is off-center for some reason
I am now eagerly waiting for each new recommendation on this thread! Love the dial. All that is stopping me is that the seller says the watch isn't working, so who knows what one would be up for in servicing/repair costs
I think movement just needs to be serviced. Even including the costs of servicing the watch, price is still reasonable especially if you can get the seller to part with it at less than the the asking BIN price.
This thread is excellent! I saw the latest ebay find also. I agree, even with additional service it would be a good buy. Alas, the coffers are still being replenished.
the date ring has teeth and those teeth are hold in correct position by a triangle which is pushed by a spring. When this spring gets weak or the date ring is binding some where, you will see the date off center. (and that's normal with these @6)
Needs a new crystal and some cleaning of the case with soap and water and a change of crown but after that you have a nice automatic seamaster. http://www.ebay.com/itm/120988967699Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
And here's a second one that ends in less than 2 days. A tad small but nice and sharp. http://www.ebay.com/itm/300782876769Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
Mmmm, common sense. Who would have thought to use it with vintage Omega listings. Obviously, I didn't. Thanks
I think if you want a critique on a listing, it belongs to a separate thread. This thread is really best for current ebay listing recommendations from forum moderators and members and not meant to be diverted to off topic discussions on "what do you think of this ebay listing"
