    I think their light bulb is a little dim on this one...

    How can sellers be "trusted" and "5 star sellers" selling all kind of crap? On chrono24 that is

    Look at this nice "105.0012"... and in the certificate it's a 105.003. And it contains a 861... and more "faults"

    Priced at 12.000 EUR

    Actually likely a later caliber 1010/1012, probably a ref 166.175, so this case finish is correct.

    This one looks like it has one of those POS Baumgartner movements. LinkPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    Not Omega but the arrogance of this seller must be shared-

    https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/163795408684

    Yes, it’s a pretty Wakmann, it’s not a Breitling

    DDBE5244-8D7F-4B38-A6D6-C9B0CE5303A0.jpeg FD6CD8A3-57BF-447A-A269-AC138BBD3463.jpeg 788D2D29-FD1B-4E0D-ADD7-DBDA931C8643.jpeg

    Now I quote from the text below the description-
    “I paid 1800 USD for it 15 years ago so its really worth over $4000. Try to find another one? I had already answered another bidders question about the crown. Based on the increase in Wakmann/Brightling in 15 years it should go over $5000, there is a LOT of interest in this watch and I know what the retail value is.”

    Yeah, this guy is making me really want it

    And in addition to the certificate, its got a "deployment clasp"... must be a rare military spec watch used in combat.
