Worth a watch
How much are these at RRP ?
£4100. UK was strangely cheapest in the world even after inclusion of VAT so this may get snapped up by a Euro or US buyer. That said the seller's 10 history may put many off, it would me.
£4100 I believe
It's an auction but will be interesting to see what the free market value these atQuote:

Just out of interest what was the RRP on these and did everyone have to pay duty? Or were they shipped from Switzerland for UK buyers?
The guy doesn't have the watch does he. Is this another promise to deliver whenever.
They're shipped to whatever country you request and you pay the local price there in that local currency including taxes.Quote:

....and its already got its first bid.... we should start a book on how high it goes - I will guess at £5,100
£6050. Possibly more if some of those bidders with zero feedback get involved.
And the fun begins....

Asked at the Omega boutique if I could pick one up if reservations don't translate to actual sales.
Apparently they cannot be sold to other customers and require to be returned if not taken up.
Bizarrely, I think I've met the chap selling, at Le Mans. Iirc he has the same username on one of the car forums, drives a black Cayman with martini stripes.

Probably best he sells the Speedy then as that's not the image we want for it 😀Quote:

Instills confidence!
Yeah I just saw that. Oh dear Lord.Quote:

A: Hi I am due to collect it either Friday or early next week but definitely before the auction ends, so you'll be able to see the receipt. I can send it anywhere in the World via FedEx.

Er, It's a manual wind, no?
How do people even list items with such high values on EBay with a non-business account ? Pretty sure my account is limited to items under £2k or something.
Ebay's limit restricts you from listing above the limit (starting price has to be lower), it doesn't restrict the auction to finish exceeding that limit.
@Ally - mine's not. Would be odd if it was - cars etc.
I doubt the buyer will be genuine at the end of this item, I suspect it's similar to lots of high end phones that seem to finish with winning bids from people with 0 feedback and then get relisted. Never understood it tbh but the paypal scam potential would put me off using paypal for a high value item.

He must be a 'genuine' watch collector before he forgot the famous manual winding movement was either a automatic or quartz :witless:
Everybody on the ST waiting list has a reason for nudging the bidding up on that
'retailers receipt WILL' - can't use an apostrophe so on this one I'm definitely out.
That's 3 ST's up on ebay now. One from our eager friend earlier. Obviously didn't get a sale here!
I wonder if anyone is keeping them. Surely all this buying to sell means if this is going to be a watch that sells for a premium, it is better to let the dust settle before selling.
Hilarious -"Quartz"

£7k already; if it runs the distance, perhaps we'll be looking at five figures.
The second half of the ebay ID name seems strangely appropriate.
He's asking £150 postage :eagerness:Quote:

Now this seems unlikely but I would be keeping my powder dry on any auction format example since a lot can happen in a week and there is nothing to be gained by bidding early. If as may occur there are 7 or 8 of these on by the end of the week then some lower BIN prices may be seen if only from chancers after a very quick buck.
I've always wondered if Eddie's the one pushing or riding?Quote:

Interesting that a genuine watch enthusiast and collector believed it to be quartz. I couldn't resist asking a question about this to see what he said.
Most people who bid will have no intention of buying. Expect to see it for sale for buy it now after the buyer backs out.Quote:
