    Wow... An NOS Omega Seamaster Pro 200m 'Pre-Bond' in Two Tone. This makes me ill since I recently dropped $700 on a superb two tone with the 1441 Quartz movement. I love it (and I do mean, i love it), but this would be insane. The autos so rarely come up for auction. In this condition it deserves a premium.

    A premium? I don't get why. It's just another late 80's / early 90's SMP. If you mean it will be more expensive than a battery powered version you would be correct, but this isn't exactly a rare or highly sought after watch. The 80's into the 90's was the low point of Omega's history.

    It's NOS and clearly pristine so it deserves to sell above the standard $800 to $900 the autos seem to go for and should command near 2 grand (I see it's passed $1500 this afternoon). I would gladly pay well above even that had I not just bought the quartz version. Is it comparable to modern Seamasters? No, of course not. But true NOS Omega pre-Bonds are quite rare so this is special.

    Remember, This thread is not for watches you like, but for watches that you absolutely recommend that someone here should purchase. The first one on your list is of dubious condition with a seller which many have received watches in poor condition from him.

    Ups, I apologise. But the seller has 100% feedback and I didn't know that.
    It's true, the dial is not in great condition but I still like it. Anyway, I'll be more careful...
    Cheers!

    I believe for these later cal. 751's those rules do not apply. These are from the early/mid seventies and some of the stainless steel cased 751's even have the bricked observatories.

    I wouldn't have put it on this thread if it wasn't in great shape - this case looks like it hasn't been polished since by this time omega switched from bricks to poured concrete. ;)

    Great reply. But see now my question was poorly worded. Really, the concern was whether the observatory should be bricked

    Awesome! Thanks!
