Found on ebay. Looked to be a good deal. The seller has not answered my questions about being original. Seller states it's a 561 which it is but the omega database says it should be a 564 cal. Can y'all take a look and enlighten me a bit So I don't get screwed over by a frankenwatch. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=110996947413&index=0&nav=WON&nid=88226691270&trxId=0Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
Congratulations! My first pie pan purchase cost me $500 6 year ago. It was a horrid franken with a bad redial too - but you topped me by a couple hundred bucks! I'm the Minnesota Vikings and you're the Buffalo Bills. The Vikings were the biggest losers in football since they never won a Super Bowl and lost all 4 appearances over a couple of decades.... until the Bills lost 4 Super Bowls in a row. Seriously, if the seller said that was an original finish on the dial in the listing then you can back out with no qualms for a misdescribed item. We'll then help you find a decent specimen.
horrible bid last night when I was a little under the weather. I didn't pay for it when I woke up I slapped myself. Seller will be keeping it.
I will be looking at the classifieds here instead thanks guys! Man Omegas are harder to buy than vintage Rolexs'
Good man. My suggestion would be wait a while, keep an eye on the WRUW thread here, and keep reading threads here, as over time you'll see hundreds of vintage Omegas of varying age and price. Once you've seen what's out there, come up with an idea of exactly which one you're after and what its going to cost you, then start looking and asking questions.
There's a lot of things you can say here that you can't on other forums. I've probably said each at least once. A tenet of this hobby: eBay + alcohol (even if it's in cold medicine) = regret.
But you're Australian - you guys do EVERYTHING 3 sheets to the wind. Besides, that probably means the seller was drunk too. Equal inebriation usually balances things in the buyer's favor. A sober seller and a drunk buyer means the seller wins.
Wow, yet another type of "Ashley bidding". At this rate you're going to turn watch buying into an adventure sport
We just have to make sure he doesn't get impaled by a lug or infected by a tainted serrated crown and die like those animal show whackos.
