5k for what is basically now a Watchco SM300

http://www.ebay.com/itm/EXCELLENT-V...099181519?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item2ed271fdcf


I know the seller. He sold me an Omega Seamaster Pre-Bond and when it arrived it had a strange rubbing or scratch on the underside of the crystal. to his credit he offered me a full refund (which i took). I spoke with him over the phone a few times and he's a nice fella, but yes, this particular auction is wishful thinking. I do not think he is even aware of the Watchcos.

^Wow, someone paid for the privilege of destroying the value of an original sm300. I wonder what Omega did with the original parts.

Stuck them on eBay, like everyone else seems to.

These and the Anakin are very difficult to find in perfect original condition. The cases are prone to chipping and I find even a slightly chipped case very ugly on the wrist. From what I have seen the hand sets are also often changed out too.

This one I like, apart from the price of course, the case is in great shape and although the dial indices are a little corroded and hands a little faded they are original and could be freshened up quite easily if desired.

My chrono hands have faded from orange to a yellow which I really like and wouldn´t change.
