·I was watching too thought it will end tomorrow until I saw your thread. Seller may have an offer and relist as a buy it now so the person who offered 5500 may buy it now.

That's exactly what happened. Someone probably messaged and made an offer, the seller ended it and sent a link to the BIN. For a decent 145.012, someone got a nice price. I took the liberty of emailing the seller and telling them they could have gotten about $9,000 if they had asked around before listing. Oh well.

·Wow. Wasn't me this time! And one of the reasons why is because I only buy my 321 Speedies if they have a fresh battery! 😜

·Bracelet is 1175 so noyt worth 9000 in my opinion it may be a 67 or 68 transitional too. Since seller doesnt have a movement pix.

·Well, the seller and I had a good chat, and they are OK with the outcome. They have all the info now and will honor the sale with eyes open, so I at least feel a bit better that someone wasn't duping anyone.

·I also lost interest in the watch when I saw that it didn't include a battery.

Obviously, they were fine and happy with their decision to sell the watch at the price that they were offered.
With 437 feedbacks on eBay, they are obviously no “Internet newbies” and in this day and age (we’re a few days from 2020) to not be able to at least google the fact that this is not a battery operated watch, they deserved every penny that they got, and did not deserve each and every penny they didn’t... #crymeariver #noneedforheroes

·In my opinion, (and I really don’t want to steer this thread into a whole “Ethics debate”) it was not your duty or place to have any discussion with the seller after the sale to let them know that they might have sold the watch for a cheaper price than they could have gotten had they left it up for auction.

Agree. The seller had the option to do due diligence on their sale, the watch obviously did not owe them much. Both happy, end of story.
As an aside I love my 1175 bracelet, maybe it's not a value add for some but very comfortable.

·how fair it is
In 2020, with an internet presence, they can’t figure out that an Omega Speedmaster is not a battery operated watch, and on top of that were told after the sale that they’re selling the watch cheap and still going to go through with the transaction then it’s on them. And if they got paid $5,500 for their “Stupidity” then Heck, they’re probably the highest paid stupid people in the entire country today! They should feel ever so lucky!

·I have bought many watches at bargain prices on eBay over the years, only to have some helpful person contact the seller after the money has changed hands to tell them they had sold it too cheaply and that they will pay more, the refund then follows,, I could have done that a million times but just think to myself “good score” for someone, smile and move on.
If an adult seller who can list on eBay cannot do a bit of research on a watch they have and are happy with an offer or a buy it now request, that is fine. They could have paid someone $20 for it who knows?
I found myself researching dolls the other day, not my area but I took the time to check.
At the price the person paid for this watch it is still a bit of a gamble without seeing the movement which could be a mess or incorrect. ( I doubt it though)
I find it a bit spiteful to contact the seller after the sale but others will disagree of course.
I’m sure these people wouldn’t like it doing to themselves.

·My guess would be that this is a 145.022-68 based on the hands. It looks like they came with the watch. But it also look like a bit of chrono creep.
