I always find it interesting seeing good deals out there that I may have missed. This goes for auction sites like ebay or sales on various forums. Threads like these could be good way of keeping track of prices perhaps as well, but more importantly it gives a space to comment on various watches, leave feedback and ask questions about sold bargains.

This sold while I was sleeping, which is a good thing, as it would have been hard not to BIN it.

Omega 3569.31 APOLLO 11 35th Anniversary Edition - BIN was $5100, which I think is great price considering these dont come up too often for sale. And when they do, price is north of $8K from what I saw. It also looks to be a real deal, and not a 3570 conversion.

Please do feel free to post up non-omega watches. It is supposed to be fun and informative thread for all makes and models.

 

This DSSD was incorrectly labelled as a sea dweller 16600, was being sold locally and from the photos seemed authentic but could have easily inspected it in person.

The only thing that I was apprehensive about was that up until the ad I had little interest in a DSSD, which started to grow on me after research but I still didn't know 100% about the thickness. I guess I couldn't justify spending the $$ just because it seemed too cheap or that it may have been to good to be true without seeing one in person.

I probably should have tried to flip it and then purchase an SD or Sub but am not confident enough in my ability to authenticate a rolex in person.

This one was a few years ago.....

https://omegaforums.net/threads/somebody-stole-this-speedmaster.4011/

 

Mentioned this several times before - an 18k rose gold 30L Flagship from the late 50's that sold for $735-ish. I figured I'd steal it for $700-ish. I should have put in $950 minimum.

 

Yes. I remember that thread. That was quite insane. There were few more of similar type that sold last year (weird to say "last year" for 2016 now)

 

I know 0 about Rolex watches, but would be nice for someone that does know to chime in and fill in the blanks on this one. Wonder if it was the real deal.

 

Yea I should have been a little more proactive asking on the forum, but I didn't want to buy the watch because it was 'cheap' *cough*

 

How about we DON'T rip up the old wounds and think of all the great deals we've missed??

 

Agree, that Seiko Monopusher for $570 earlier cut me deep...

 

Oh well, I'll play:

Missed out on this one due to being away from the computer and having to bid using a mobile device I couldn't operate competently

 

Posted this once before but I still like to dwell on it !
800 odd quid for an Omega bullhead... spotted just after it had ended.

What device ? , Your half my age and if you have issues i don't want to go near one

 

An iPhone. I don't own a smartphone myself, so I'm unused to touch screens etc. It didn't help that the count-down timer apparently was off. It was at circa 20 seconds remaining when I entered my bid and when I had to confirm, it had gone to 3! Naturally, it didn't register my bid in time

 

Reading these regret stories makes me glad to be a fan of newer/modern watches that can be purchased anytime at AD's or readily available from resellers at consistent prices.

 

Where there's true passion, there's lost love and regrets. You're missing out, mate

 

This looks like it was a good deal. A tad under $3K, when majority of non transitional 69s go for over $4K. DN90 Bezel, and parts look to be original. Seller looks to be legit as well.

Only thing I am not sure about is rust looking between bezel and crystal.

 

Looks like prices keep going down for CK2998. Final price $4400. Good price for potential buyers, not so good for all the people that were hoping to get one and flip for profit.

iPhones are very user friendly smartphones, you won't be disappointed if you get used to one. I basically use mine like a small computer for everything, taking videos/photos, and GPS. The only problem with them is that after about 1 year they turn into a POS brick that has to be plugged into the outlet ALL day long so that it can be used. It becomes very difficult to use one after 1 years time so you are FORCED to upgrade to prevent smashing your 1 year old iPhone with a hammer. I wish the folks at Apple would spend more time "inventing" a battery that will last more than 1 year after use.
