    Small shop that has a lot of watches in it, seems new set up . Have found them on Ebay but that watch is showing a slightly different price

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Omega-Co...722548?hash=item1ef6eca434:g:vE8AAOSw6xVcjY6dPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    Also has some overpriced Speedmasters - 1974 one at £4994 and a "Jedi" at £3649 !!!

    EDIT - S Rodwell & Sons from Blantyre are shop owners, website company under name time2timepiece

    EDIT 2 - Just seen the link I posted here has already been mentioned on last page !!

    Possibly one of the rarest dial configurations for this model, but still i think EUR 1.2k might still be on the high end

    You see that kind of sloppiness all over the place, and in this context it just makes me think, "If they're sloppy about that, what else are they sloppy about? Provenance? Servicing (if any has been done)? Money laundering?" Maybe not, but the suspicion wells up in your mind. It's just damaging their own reputation for the sake of a couple of minutes checking something.

    Some of these are unreal. the Rolex asking prices seem way out of touch with reality.

    Staring to wonder if the official Omega pricing for the Spacemaster Z-33 falls into this category. I see it on sale quite a bit online and passing through Frankfurt today saw it on sale at Christ in the airport for EUR 3,500.

    The “seahorse” on the back adds $2.1k in value to this one apparently

    This qualifies. I wouldn't pay $5975 for a stainless steel Constellation, and certainly not after you remove the explosive material! That's the most valuable part of the Constellation! ::stirthepot::

    From Theo and Harris:
    [​IMG]
    $1,715

    and
    [​IMG]
    $1,415

    People have been saying for a while that watches in good condition are increasingly hard to find, but this is ridiculous::screwloose::

    The addition of the Turler store name seems to be the Hodinkee of the last century.
