You have to wonder about the thinking behind this one. Possibly the least appealing of the round case Top Times, GP on the case totally gone to Donald Duck, dial not the best, wrong crown, no movement photo, generally unattractive and yet they have priced it at the same level as a half-decent 810 (拢2.5K BIN for when the link expires). Anyone stupid enough to pay that for this ropy old dog was Darwin'd out of the gene pool long ago.

This would be funny if it weren't so tragic. 拢10K for this?? What planet is he on! "I hand polished for a good hour" (I presume he's talking about the watch) - yes, and it shows!

Come on now, there's a whole star left on the medallion. That's gotta be worth at least 5k!

Ultra rare Partsmaster. Worth more in parts.

The Partsmaster was discussed on OF back in 2015 https://omegaforums.net/threads/1980-omega.27404/
...but the one from that thread even had a crown, imagine how much this seller would be asking if it had a crown! 馃檮

How about the 2254 advertised not a million miles from here. $2,300/拢1,775 unserviced or $2.6K/拢2K after a fettle? Put down the crack pipe and step away from the keyboard.

How about the one for sale on here with the knackered dial, no service history and no movement info whatsoever because he can't get the back off? Lucky dip for nearly a grand. I'll pass thanks.
