At least there is no excuse for not providing a shot of the movement!

I love the description… 🙄

Wow … either that “exquisite ensemble” is sitting on a crate of gold bullion, or somebody’s valuation is just a bit off.

Delve into the realms of GMT, Submariner, Moonwatch, Pre-Moon, and...

This one is just utterly munted, hopefully nobody buys it unless they plan to send it to Omega and hope for their good will in giving it one of everything. the opening bid already sounds too much given the likely parts needed.

Another victim of the bezel fairy… in a few weeks someone will turn up asking for people’s thoughts on this watch oblivious to the fact that a major part of the case is missing

So, from the front this one doesn’t look too bad, but there’s a good reason why it isn’t in the recommended thread, and that is because the caseback medallion is so badly ground down that it vaguely resembles a flaccid and rather unimpressive corpus spongiosum.

Grand Luxe Norman Morris special dial, which is cool, but not even solid gold for almost the same price as the crummiest Corvette in the land of the free

I believe that is the exceeding rare and valuable “impressionist’ version of the medallion caseback. Much sought after by art collectors worldwide.
