What do you think of this? Looks unmolested....is this the price point i am looking at if i want one with the booklet, bracelet, and unmolested? Thanks. It sold on ebay this am for 5k. Is this a good one to use as a comparison against others that i am looking at.....I am an omega newby....

 

Unfortunately, that's about as good as you're going to get for 5K these days.
To think people were haggling when I had this one up for 3K less than 2 years ago.

 

The watch of OP got sold for 5k USD right? I was watching but in the last 14 minutes the price went up too fast

 

In this market this watch may have reached closer to $6k+ if that's a 1039/516.

 

1039? In the OP pics?

I would use the pics on speedmaster101 and here as a guide, not pics from an eBay ad

 

575 ends 1116 clasp.

 

is the 1039 preferred over the 1116 generally?

 

Personally, yes.

 

Caught my attention since it had papers......i like the ephemera.....

 

Was referring to @dennisthemenace post of his sold '69.

 

$5000.- for a nice -69 with box, papers, DON and a 1039/516 is the lower end I think.

 

The only odd thing is that any French speaking native will not call it Brussels on the paper work but Bruxelles. A Flemish speaking person would say Brussel without the s.

Could be a fluke but just sayin

The OP case seems to have been restored / touched up? The very fresh brush pattern on the sides of the case does not entirely match the rest to put it mildly. Not saying it´s molestation or really bad, but it is not entirely like it left the factory.
For price guiding I would recommend Speedmaster101 any day.
