It looks the same just different pictures. Nice way to make a few $$

I wonder what the previous owner got in trade. Probably something the new owner didn't think would sell as well or for as much I guess.

 

That's what dealers do.

 

Did the guy even have time to unpack it before he listed it??

 

At least his pictures are worse

 

I find it interesting that the dark spot at 11-marker ist not visible in the new listing

 

Is 27,000k possible for this watch? Well I hope the OP got a watch he is very happy with. It does make me wonder I once got a good deal on a watch being sold locally and I was approached by someone just getting into watches I ended up just charging him five bucks over what I paid so I could say I made something. I hope the dude didn’t just flip it right away I only did that because he seemed decent and I thought it was cool to get someone their first vintage omega. Oh well I know that topic had been discussed here no reason to get into it again. I just hope the seller is very happy with whatever they got

 

+$6k added and not even a fresh service

 

Asking price and selling price are sometimes worlds apart.

 

if +$1k is added it should still get a service from a dealer imo

 

Is that a 1035/506 bracelet

 

The previous owner sold/traded to a dealer, so I'm sure he is not surprised to see it listed for sale again. Can the new seller get $27k? Seems ambitious, especially in the current environment, but maybe he is expecting to be beaten down a bit.

 

From the OF sale
Bracelet - The bracelet is 7912 with clasp code dating 1962 and the end links are repro 6s. The bracelet has a few stretch links which are stretched out.

 

Buy low, sell high.
