And this one shows how condition can impact the price of the watch: http://www.ebay.com/itm/63s-OMEGA-C...=&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
This makes three - case polished quite a bit too. A reprise of the night of the connie gold - the fastest appreciating segment in the vintage omega universe and I bet it's because of demand from Asia. http://www.ebay.com/itm/OMEGA-CONST...aU4J5AJDYuI8fReeKlGX6As=&orig_cvip=true&rt=ncPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
Respectable Member MSNWatch It is not easy trying to explain something to someone whose knowledge about vintage-watches is a little shallow. Definitely a top condition watch is not easy to come by and those knowledgeable buyers will be willing to pay a premium for one. I have even heard two people arguing, over an average 18k Omega Constellation (probably the price is $2 400.00) against a superb vintage Omega Railmaster (probably the price is $4 000.00). The Constellation owner alleged the Railmaster owner had overpaid for his watch. The reason: how on earth could a stainless-steel watch be more expensive than an 18k solid gold watch???? When I heard of this argument, I did not know whether I should laugh at the reasoning or feel, terribly upset. Thank-you.
Show them a Paul Newman Daytona and then an 18ct DateJust from the same era. Argument won in favor of stainless. Some people get it, others don't - and it's only because they don't understand the nuances of supply & demand plus rarity and desirability of some models over others. If they're vintage collectors it doesn't take long for them to catch on. Keep on trying.
I love that first one... looks stunning. Still prefer my 2627 stepped dial but having a no date full rotor for convenience would be nice.
This Seller has an excellent marketing scheme. He knows his watches and presents them in clear pictures with lots of details. Kudos for him
Yes , he sells a lot of good watches,.. But.......he also sells some hideous, refinished dial, Constellations as well....be careful.
Respectable Member cicindela I concur. Usually a dealer who earns a living selling vintage-watches will sell just anything that he gets, without disclosing the negative aspects of the watch. (Save for the reputable ones but again, his price may perhaps be slightly higher than usual.) Buying from a well-informed enthusiast who has to sell to upgrade, we would most probably get a factory-original example. Thank-you.
Looks like another has come up with a history of sore winners... http://www.ebay.com/itm/OMEGA-Const...es_Watches_MensWatches_GL&hash=item2576c5df39Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

Among Zenith-philes that seller is known to be a bit slippery - some very fine pieces alongside some pretty sophisticated frankens.
