    Yes this is desirable watch, except for the:
    1. movement not working,
    2. mixed hands
    3. old redial
    4. poor detail photos
    6. way to much money for this condition.

    I too was following this watch and thought maybe it would fly low under the radar. It was low all week and then went crazy at the end.
    Nuts. I can only conclude that some thought it was a sleeper because of the poor photos. But I don't beleive the dial is not what some thought is :thumbsdown:

    It's 35.5 mm in diameter .....

    Agree on hands, I personally have a special spot for 30 mm Rg , and even more for a 35.5 oversized in steel!

    Hopefully just hairspring is hung up......


    Good hunting

    Not too sure about the chronometre being a redial - will need to see nicer photos. If the dial is original it's not an unreasonable price.

    dial will be original. but better pics. would be in order..... not a bad price; oversized steel chronometer`s are not very common. I sold mine serviced and with original hands for US $ 3200 kind regards. achim

    I would also take the dial to be original.

    Interesting point. Good eye. I suppose if somebody on the forum bought it, we could get better pictures and put an end to it...

    I've seen a couple with Swiss Made.

    I was a little weary about the Omega logo but the pictures are definitely limiting.

    I was following and bid, but way too low. My estimation was based mostly on the case and movement. I was unsure whether the dial is original and it clearly needs hands and a service. If this was bought to restore and keep, this price is at the high end. If bought to flip, not much of a margin left, IMO.

    Hmmm... Steel in my opinion more uncommon the gold and a oversize one even more so.

    Looking forward to see where it pops up.
