Yeah, missed out on this one when the auction previously ended. Tempted to bid on it now. But now I'm wondering why. It is a very nice example. Case is great.

I think it went for 650 last time. I put the same bid in and it’s already surpassed that. Could it have been pulled and relisted hoping for a higher result? There are comparable pieces now with bracelets for not much more.

Yeah, and that's what I don't like. Sellers who cancel auctions results and relist items if they don't get the auction price they wants. Waste of time and effort in the research and anticipation when the auction closes. That's why it's appreciated if OF member recognize is this is happening to a certain auction item, i.e. that one terrible Omega 2998 that was talked about in a prior thread.

Omega Seamaster Cal 75x Day-Date in steel going no reserve in 2 hours with a $650 opening bind, this one has passed in a couple of times due to bad photos but 650 is a good deal on it

Vintage Omega Seamaster Cosmic 2000 Cal 1012 going no reserve in 17 hours

Beautiful aesthetics, love the layout!
Shame there is a little minute ring(bezel?) damage.
How in the world does the minute ring rotate, because that sucker is definitely moving! A crown setting?

Okay, now this is something I want. The more crowded the dial the better! I kid. But's actually really cool.

We have lots of threads from members asking opinions on watches listed on ebay. How about we turn things around - let's talk about watches on ebay that are worth purchasing. My disclaimer is that I am not affiliated with any of the sellers whose watches I post here and cannot make any guarantees except to say the watch in the listing looks good to me.

Here is one - a nice looking vintage seamaster:

And a nice looking vintage piepan constellation - I would like better pictures but the ones up in the listing suggest a decent watch. What makes this uncommon is that the markers are silver and not yellow gold. Seller accepts returns so you have some level of security.

From my experience buying vintage Omega's on ebay is pot luck, l've bought 3 and 2 have been, after looking under a microscope not what l signed up to buy, not saying it was the sellers fault, but after looking inside the movements had a few fault that could only be detected by looking under a microscope, it cost me a little bit of money to correct the faults, but by and large, l'm still in profit if l decide to sell, once l service to sell, at the moment, they are keeping good time. Ebay is good for spares and repairs but not for buying vintage watches and expecting them to be honest !!!!

That's why you buy the seller and not the watch in many instances. Look at the eBay feedback and always assume the watch needs service when you factor in how much you are willing to pay/bid on a watch.

Always factor in a service! or If seller says "Needs a service" beware.
