Wish I'd asked for One of these that Christmas instead of a Mecano set.

    :unsure:


    At least he's taking offers.
    Not one you see around too often.

    Obviously not 1967 as it mentions "the successful Apollo Moon-landing" - Published between Apollo 11 and 12 perhaps?
    The 145.003 reference also looks a little unusual.
    I've just tried to have a look on Steve Waddington's brochure/catalogue site old-omegas.com for any more information but I'm getting re-directed to a neoworx blog tools page.

    Does anyone know Steve to ask what's happened? I don't think I've ever seen him on the forums. I only got interested around 2009.


    Update: I did put in an offer this morning but my £61 has just been declined without a counter offer. Just letting anyone else interested know the score. I won't be going higher. Just gone back through my emails and realised I bought one of these a few years back for £35 and forgot I had it :-/

    I think eBay UK have gone back to the old system on offers. If you make an offer that is accepted, then you have bought the item. No more make a few offers on various things and then decide which, if any you'll buy. This removes the counter offer facility unless the seller sends you a message. Personally, I think it is a bad move because it means that you can only go in low now unless you are 100% certain that you want it.

    Thanks.
    I'm losing track of the eBay differences between .com, .co.uk & .com.au and it doesn't help that each seems to behave differently again when accessed on a mobile.

    I'd always assumed any offer I made was binding though, if accepted by the seller.

    Happy to have missed out on this one.

    Nice booklet and still cheap compared to Rolex. Ebay gets worse every day.
