You'll find far more success with this thread if you attach a few photos of the item at question!

Nikon d750 24mpixel

 

Save the pictures to your Computer and just add photos from where you store them.

 

Edit the jpeg smaller or set the camera to take a smaller file, it’s not tricky on a Nikon if memory serves.

 

Without seeing the pictures a 2541.80 Seamaster from Golden Eye should cost in todays market somewhere between 700 GBP to 1000 GBP depending on condition. Automatics are or should be quite a bit more expensive for obvious reasons.

 

If it’s in good nick, £850 for a full size quartz SMP is a very good price. BUT it only takes a serious bezel, bracelet or crystal issue and you might find there is a £300-400 bill not too far down the road unless you are happy to live with the issue. Post some pics and we can give an informed judgement.

 

If the watch is in good condition, that does seem like a fair price for a quartz version. But the question is: will you will be happy with it? You purchased it thinking it was an automatic. If you want an automatic and are settling for the quartz, then I say return it, because I doubt you will be happy and will be on the search for an automatic version soon. If you just wanted the watch for the style (I.e., the bracelet, case, bezel, dial, etc) then keep it, because other than the movements, the quartz and automatic are virtually identical.

Ultimately, it all comes down to what you want.

Cheers,
Don

 

This may help....if you are struggling with the format of the photos that you are taking then why not just use the pics from the Ebay listing? if you click on the pic and save picture as to a new folder on your desktop, then simply post those pics on this thread.

 

the bezel is stuck but overall its excellent condition it's from 2008 so the stuck bezel don't surprise me much

 

It was the size heh thanks for help guys

 

Going for Rolex next so the savings is a good thing closer to the Explorer the better

 

I can't be absolutely certain, but it looks to me like there are a couple of trouble spots with the watch. Omega doesn't put the word "chronometer" on the dial of the quartz version of the Seamaster Diver. Also, the font for "Omega" looks wrong, as well as (possibly) the font for "Seamaster". The watch may be a fake.

 

Now you mention it, the centring of the date window looks a little off. I am not sure about the Omega font either. I too now have grave concerns I am sorry to say.

 

The Omega emblem is missing above the Omega text the E in Omega looks too small and the feet is not clear on the dial in fact the whole dial looks sloppy but I am no expert and my small notebook computer is not good with visibility and as you say the Quartz version should not say Chronometer. The Bezel should not be stuck either. Something smells rotten in Denmark.
