    hi,
    I have been on the waiting list for a watchco seamaster 300 no date 165.024. It has been a while and I have almost forgotten about it until I received the email yesterday.
    They have a head only ready for me next week. I'm waiting on photos. Price is $2700 plus shipping to the states.
    Does that seem like a fair price?
    I have read many of the threads about the idea of buying watchco vs a watch that omega assembled in their factory. That is a whole seperate battle I need to figure out in my head.
    As for price what are your thoughts?
    I know I will prob wear it for a while then flip it for something else if I buy it, so I need to consider the resale.
    Thanks in advance

    $2700? I'd say FMV is at least $1000 less...

    (as we can all see where this is going...)

    I was thinking $1,500

    (yeah, I can see where it is going as well)

    OP, have you searched the FS portion of this forum? There are at least two on there right now.

    At the end of the day if you like then buy.... keep it long enough and you will get your £££££££ back.... Good luck with your decision...
