Great photos too 👎

This one deserves bonus points for the remarkably wanky description:

The crisp, provenance polished solid 18ct yellow gold case is in excellent condition with only the most minor wear. With the original Omega signed winding crown and iconic and extremely defined observatory legend on the screwback case back it's in magnificent condition.

It is already down to $7,500
poor dial condition, cracked crystal, scratched case back. I wouldn't buy it at 10% of the offered price. The only nice thing is complete set box & paper.

Have Speidel Flexi bands suddenly gone up in value 😕

Boy, I hope so because then I could part out my 1969 Bulova Sea King which has a silver wavy textured Speidel Flex-O-Matic band.

So the $4K+ price on that 1st one must not be the Flex-0-Matic bracelet then?

If you're selling a watch, why not research market value first?

Sonning Vintage are always at least £1,000 GBP over the market value - often more, and often for a re-dial, into the bargain. It's kind of a badge of honour for them. The strange thing is, they seem to sell their stock just fine . . . 😕
