Theo and Harris are high and they sell a lot of stuff if it's by backroom offers who knows. I look at their auctions all the time but never saw a thing there I would pay their prices

4 uses of the word 'incredible' in 3 lines of description, what could go wrong for 5k GBP: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Omega-Ge...653410?hash=item1c9f5b6d62:g:BFUAAOSwryBaaevK
I just don't get some of these sellers. Does this seller really expect someone to pay 5K for a watch with only a picture of the front of the watch. Really, only a few seconds looking at other listings should tell the seller that more pictures are warranted.

What could I hope to get for my Seamaster 300 (26XXXXXX serial number)?
Never touched by a jeweler of serviced.I gave the watch to my dad when I got out of the Navy in 1971, He was a carpenter & big guy with 8" Wrists , he bumped the bezel and knocked it off the watch. He wore the watch for years without the bezel. I had the bezel put back on the watch 5 years ago.I paid $190 for the watch at NAS ROTA SPAIN in 1969.I was offered $10k by a Boston Dealer.

It’s quite ironic that you posted this here in a thread about unrealistic expectations since you were recently ejected from another forum where you had this up at $12k. I still think that looks like a service bezel but you are in the right place for expert opinion here. Maybe play nicer with any comments you get this time.

I left that forum because of the TROLLS! and the price is £12,000 not USD

Are you entitled to sell here?
Nobody is entitled to sell here. There is a separate forum for that. I guess some selllers can’t be bothered to read the rules or think the rules don’t apply to them.::facepalm1::
