Was looking at this and asking Trev if it looked ok to him, and just about to click bid when it sold for $600...

Yea I was already factoring a new dial, hands bracelet and service into it, but even after that it's a crazy good deal.

 

Saw that too, but there are always other good deals that will come around in the future!

 

That's what I found strange. Looks like "mud" under the crystal in some places. How did it get there?

 

Probably the remnants of an internal gasket. Sometimes when they wear out, they turn to goo and get all over the place.

This may be one of those rare occasions where the buyer should send the watch to Bienne and tell Omega to replace everything. Even if it cost $2K to restore, they'd get their money out of it in the end.

Hope this helps,

I'd have probably done something like that, then kept it but alas, I hesitated too long =(

 

Thanks for pointing that out. It's not something I was aware of.
