    It's the same piece. I don't know if the damage is on the dial or if it's something on the crystal that makes some sort of shadow on the dial?

    OK, there are a few other fine pieces on that auction, you don't feel that you want to promote any of them? :)

    Let's not forget that based on recent eBay sales, that bezel is worth about $1.8 billion USD. ;)

    Gorgeous example.

    Hope an OF'er buys it, so we'll have a chance to see more of it (wonder if Mrs. SF new kitchen will be delayed....:p).

    thanks to @Spacefruit for the lengthy assessment. i was aware of this lot and thought it looked amazing. it's good to hear other's assessment of it. I would like to see a close-up of the dial to confirm the scratches (especially between 1 & 2) are on the crystal and not the dial. i haven't seen a better offering with a lollipop, so my guess is that it goes for $108k all in.

    Well. This is an omega forum and its not often these base 1000 comes out on auction, especially in Sweden so that's why I felt it was nice to talk about it.. Can't see anything wrong with that :)

    The watch to me looks stunning. And I certainly appreciate you bringing this up on the forum. If only to admire from afar!

    Imagine that, a watch nerd, getting all amped up over an upcoming watch nerd auction that has rare nerd-gasm level specimens for sale! I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you!

    There is nothing remotely wrong about it at all
