An electric blue Jacques Mayol 1999 2554-80 full set popped up in Japan. It is up tomorrow, currently sitting at $600usd. This is the midsize 36mm 300m as Ash wrote about here: https://stories.omegaforums.net/sea...232-80-royal-navy-clearance-diver-ian-thorpe/
I know this is considered neovintage, but its 2025, so Im considering it vintage vintage. If you do not reside in Japan and are unfamilar with yahoo.japan auctions, you will need to use a third party proxy broker like Buyee or 500yenclub to bid on and complete a purchase. I have used both with success.

Quite a cool Seamaster De Ville Kleerback Cal 563 in gold-filled case with display-back going no reserve

I believe the crown is correct and original. The stem may be slightly bent. This can be easily fixed by a watchmaker.
The damage to the gold plating on the back is a bit more concerning. Price right now is very fair.

Wrong thread? Not vintage and not eBay

Well I looked at how to do it, and trying to buy it from Yahoo Japan looks to be a night mare full of risk as some one in the US.
buyee and 500yenclub are both vetted 3rd party proxies I have personnaly used. Its a little convoluted the first time you use it but overall is very easy. You cant bid on yahoo.japan auctions unless you have an account, and you need a Japanese mainland phone number to create an account. Hence third parties. Its a huge market we dont really utilise in this thread. Obviously dont do anything you're uncomfortable with, but I have dozens of transaction through Buyee and 500yenshop for car parts, Japanese market only goods, and watches. All shipped to my home in Cincinnati.
The one caveat with proxies is returns are almost always impossible no matter the reason

Refunds and returns are possible with Buyee. The most important thing is to retain all packaging until you鈥檙e certain that the item checks out. An unboxing video isn鈥檛 a bad idea, either.
