This 166.067 Seamaster Cal 565 goes off later today, still very cheap at 260 quid
The price doesn't lie though: a good one of these still divides opinion but it can be advocated successfully. A duffer, not so much. With its non-sparkle dial, stretchy non-Omega bracelet, and some condition issues, this one isn't helping the noble 166.067 cause, and better ones don't cost a lot more. Just my $0.02...

Thank you for your wise words. Your thoughts on this have been very, very helpful indeed

Vintage Constellation dogleg Cal 551 with very sharp clean case, original crown and original dial going no reserve, one of the nicest examples in quite some time

Missed out on this by £100 never mind
This is into Omega Enthusiast prices isn’t it? Unless he would charge a lot more for the watch if he had it?

Still below that. He charges like $5k+ for a solid gold watch (or at least he list them at that price).

Just bumping this one for those that missed it earlier, very nice 14900/167.005 going no reserve with a sharp case and clean dial, won’t be cheap but will be worth owning

That is quite nice, these bracelets are notoriously fragile and so often stretched ratty and have dented / bent clasps but this one has been very well cared for.

Also it was no taxes for me. Agree it was getting a bit heavy on pricebut some argue the Dennison produced cases are actually a superior specification (heavier gold cases)

Yea I try to label “In the UK” for any on your side of the channel just to let you guys know that it won’t attract the 20% VAT for you guys and to warn international buyers that the watch will sell for a higher rate due to being in the high demand UK Watch market.

I too don’t mind the Dennison cased Omegas, even the 9K gold examples are quite nicely made and the 18K variants are definitely quite heavy even compared to Swiss variants and don’t feel inferior quality wise, we have them here in Australia too and I’ve had a few over the years.
