Hello everyone,

A newbie here and I'm a bit stunned. Last week I won an auction on eBay for an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean. The price was very, very reasonable ($2425). It looks to be in great shape and the seller has a stellar profile with a great return policy. This is an older model, with the 2500 movement, and this is the version I wanted. It's 45.5mm.

Other than heading over to my official Omega boutique for their 6-point check and to confirm the serial number, what else should I be doing? I've never purchased a used watch before.

Thanks so much!

 

You could post the pics here or the Ebay listing link so people will be able to give you a better opinion

 

Get it serviced.

 

Hmm. For some reason, eBay is not allowing me to post a good link. All I would be posting here is a whole lot of extraneous pics and noise. Perhaps it's a Mac thing.

Thanks for the advice. I figured the service cost in my asking price.

 

Just do a screenshot. Posting images in forum is preferred anyway, since external links are not persistent.

 

Especially being the 2500.

 

Just copy then paste the address bar of the Ebay listing

 

Internet 101: Passed.

Of course these could be doctored, but I don't think so. Dude seems very legit, judging by his reviews.

 

congratulations on posting the smallest pictures ever on OF

I figured. Apologies. Check the link.

 

Dang! Link is going to the wrong watch. I'm telling you all, I know how to use a computer.

Nope again. I guess this ain't happening. Thank you all anyway.

 

That's ebay's new way of being "helpful"

 

Dude! You got it! That's the one! Good job by you!
