Well ....
... it went for 1650 USD, which for a 166.024 with reasonable dial, good case and very good bezel is not very much.
Hands are either furniture or relumed, bracelet is a 1171 and not a more valuable 1039. Movement dates to 1970, which make sense, and shows a bit of inconsistency regarding colour and oxydation.
Unless the Omega extract indicates that the movement was originally in a Deville or similar, and so has been transplanted in this watch, I would say that the buyer got a really good deal on this.
Best wishes

Big Triangle Seamaster 300. Did I miss something..........
or did you guys?? When these sell way too cheap, it makes me a bit nervous. I suspect maybe the hands have been relumed, or replaced, but the rest looks good to me. Opinions?...

+1 with Franco, here. You have to check the movement number
To be sure it matches with the watch, and the approxiamtive year of release. Best, and good hunt. Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2012-03-08 23:51:13
Actually...
Iif its the watch form NY, it went for 1200 when it was relisted. I wish I had bid!! To the OP: we certainly missed something, I thought it would go much higher. I payed $1800 for one in mint condition just a few days prior to that auction. You got an inc...
No
... it was from jacksonville, is a different watch. Regarding ignoring serial numbers ... it depends on style of collecting. Somebody wants a watch with parts (especially the moveemnt) which were originally in that case from beginning, and possibly in exc...
Actually....NO......Pmontoyap is correct.
Watch is from NY and now en route for a service so can't post more pics. But case ref and movement #'s look good to me. And it was $1200.
wow
... OK, I was looking at the wrong "completed" auctions then - I was wrong. But I think that you got a brgain price, and if all turns out to be orignal and correct , even more so. Congrats Franco
Re: No
I understand, but unless you have the original paperwork or you are willing to spend the 70 CHF for the omega database certificate you will never know if that movement was original to the watch. Even if the first two digits match the supposed year of prod...
dial good to me from the 1 pic. newer hands though
it would have been nice to see more pics, but the dial looks like an original for that period, the hands are patinated, but look fresher than the dial so are probably replacements. this could mean that its a marriage of available parts, but it could be pe...
