1966 Constellation for £2,300!

My asking price is below the value for a watch of this condition and rarity, particularly with the continual rise in value of vintage watches of this high quality.

Ah hahahaaaaa..!!!!

I'm going to go ahead and call this optimistic, considering it is listed as being "100% original" and it has a modern replacement bezel and hands:

That "100% original" is a bit ambiguous. It is 100% original Omega but not 100% original to the watch. In 2 or 3 years time we might look back and think that was a bargain. If it had a mint DON bezel and original hands how far off the mark would it be?

I like that line in the auction when the seller says in bold, "It will be along time to see a nice 1968 Omega Speedmaster professional Pre-moon in this excellent condition." All I have to do is look down at my wrist to see 100% original. 😀 If no DON bezel/hands/516/1039 is worth that, then mine has to be worth $13k. (speaking of unrealistic price expectations...) I could trade mine for a silver snoopy straight up?

“Condition for this watch is scare !!! .”

With the amount of lume missing from the plots... The dial looks clean, but I have to wonder why.
