"Like new"?? Really?? I just don't understand this collector attraction to seriously beat up watches at extremely high prices!

 

I realize my education on collectibility is ongoing, yet this seems like a wee bit of overreach. Talk about hefty noob taxation rates. The date window’s charming, however.

$4150 for a gold-capped 2582 Constellation on this very forum!

 

Ahahahahagaha

 

I have no idea what the rate is but maybe the guy forgot to do a currency conversion lol

 

Comes out to $0.16 lol

 

Don’t get me wrong, I loved mine! The rose gold furniture and those coffin markers were the best! But $5900 for an example with THIS dial? And the movement although apparently serviced, looks like it’s seen better days


Seller describes the dial as two tone

 

Today on Catwiki the experts put an estimated €600/€700 valuation on a geneve.
Is heavy pitting the new patina ???

 

Found this advert - for a redialled ref 2365 with very consumed lugs - particularly wishful and uninformed:

 

Gotta love it then they paint "T"s but there's no lume to be found

 

It's a work in progress!

Not a watch - just a box with missing insert at a ridiculously high asking price...

 

Damn I was going to put in an offer of $1 but then I saw the $65 for shipping. What a piece of excrement that seller is.

 

Here's something for your enjoyment, from my local market. Description goes like this: 157 grams Gold case, ETA replica movement impeccable condition both aesthetically wise and functionally wise. He says nothing about the watch being genuine or not. Only 8k € ! This is insanely ironical as this guy is selling some very expensive cars, therefore he could afford the real thing.

 

These jokers have started listing on Invaluable too;

https://www.invaluable.com/buy-now/omega-speedmaster-professional-moonwatch-1966-ss-1f64aebacb
In this case "like new" means a service case back, crown, bezel, later bracelet etc etc.

It appears to have gone up in value too...

What drew my eye first to this outfit was an honest-looking Seiko 6139-6009; it's fairly early (March 1970) in the cycle and despite being the least sought after (blue dial) has a few desirable attributes (RESIST dial, 2-piece chrono hand, notched case, original bracelet). Maybe worth $1000 if it's running OK and the wind is following it.

 

Maybe I am off, but it looks steep to me..
$16000

Ummmmm...ummmm

 

Frankly, I wouldn't mind making a reasonable offer on this, but I doubt the seller has any understanding of value.

 

The description clarifies why this is so dear: "Confidently enjoy your bustling lifestyle with this Omega Seamaster men's analog watch. This Omega Seamaster has a leather band, giving you endless comfort and unmatched style. Featuring an automatic mechanism, it doesn't require batteries. Instantly improve your daily style with this Omega Seamaster watch."

So it's one of those quartz watches.
