this is from a Craigslist ad in my area.....I've never heard of an Omega Globemaster before except for the one introduced in 2015?

Pretty rare actually, and I'm not very sure how to confirm one. Basically Globemaster was the original name but it was trademarked and they had to move to constellation. Globemaster was an American cargo/passenger plane. There is some info out there on them.

 

To the OP. I think you're from Canada aren't you? So is the $2100 in USD or CDN?

 

yes, I'm from Vancouver, Canada so the price would be $2100 CAD

 

does that crystal look original to you guys? it looks a bit high.....like the way aftermarket Rolex crystals always look 1 - 2 mm higher than factory original crystals

 

Just for fun.

Globemaster



Constellation

 

So that makes it around $1500 USD. Probly still too high from the sounds of it.

 

wow.....thanks for all the info. I couldn't find anything on the net about it except a Globemaster that was released in 2015

I also think the price is way over priced......you should see some of the other ads on craigslist Vancouver. some are absurdly expensive for a Frankenwatch

and then others are a complete scam because the pics look like they were stolen from the internet of a perfect example of that watch. when you ask questions about the watch they're selling.....they know absolutely nothing about it

 

that's some interesting reading. I still think the asking price is a bit high......but I can see the rarity of this watch now

 

Just because something is rare doesn't make it special.

Take me for example; I'm pretty rare but I'm nothing special.

 

A "really rare" Breitling Constellation.

 

I like my steak rare. =P

 

price now dropped to $500 after a week

"Original Fixo-Flex-S Band (stamped)"

 

That's quite a price drop...

 

yeah, I thought that was kinda funny too

how do you go from $2,100 to $500 in a week? that's less than a quarter of the original asking price

 

I think they meant to type $1500. Maybe it's just a scam and they'll take whatever they can get, Who knows?
