Title: Omega Speedmaster Professional Mark II SS Chronograph

Description: NEARMINT condition. Sweet watch with a mint case which we have refurbished. No sign of wear or buffing at all except the back where the seamaster is a bit light. Mint crystal. Mint dial. Nearmint hands showing some paint gone at the center where they attach to the pinion. Some light age/nicks seen on the crowns. We have added a new Sirtoli Louisiana alligator strap in long. Original and most popular gray and orange dial. Caliber 861 runs fine and keeps good time and is very clean as you can see in the close up photos. Click on the image to the left. This is one of the least expensive and undervalued vintage brand name chronographs on the market today. Some dealers ask much much more. Measures 42 mm wide (not including the crown) x 46 mm long x 15 mm thick. {$1275} Item #5252 HOLD

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Nice looking manual wind (Caliber 861) Omega Speedmaster Professional with the original bracelet. Dial is original too and very nice with evenly aged indices. It has been buffed and you can see nicks under the new finish. When new the letters on the back had black paint in them also. The pink chronograph movement works perfectly and is in fantastic condition. There is one watchmakers service mark in the back which corresponds with the condition of the movement. The bracelet is large enough to fit just about any sized wrist. A great vintage time piece for the money! Completely gone through by our watchmaker. Measures 43 mm wide (not including the crown) x 47 mm long x 14 mm thick. {$1675} Item #5205 SOLD

Description: EXCELLENT condition. Early 1950's Constellation with a deep dark patina on the gold bezel and lug caps. We'll clean the case for free if you want it bright and shiny. Looks well used in the photos but will clean up real nice. As found from a collector who owned for many years. Signed crown. Steel snap back says Constellation and Waterproof. Gold observatory on the back. Original two tone cross hair textured dial is real nice especially for the age. There are tiny dark luminescent dots on the outside of the markers. The 17j Caliber 354 bumper wind movement is in good condition and keeps good time. We'll service for $75 which comes with a one year warranty. A Sirtoli Alligator strap is attached with an Omega buckle. You may choose another strap in addition as this one is slightly used. Measures 35 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$1075} Item #5229 HOLD

Description: NEARMINT condition. Property of a collector/one owner. Cool popular helicopter pilots watch made with acrylic crystals to discourage bits of glass getting into the mechanism during flight or battle, if broken.

Description: NEARMINT condition. Almost a brand new watch obtained from the original owner. One scratch found on the crown side and some super faint scuffs.

We are supplying a new high grade strap in addition, one of your choice. Original 18k white gold Rolex buckle and all the boxes and manuals. I believe the retail is about $5350 plus tax if you buy from an authorized dealer. The Rolex Cellini (C is pronounced like a Ch) was designed as an honor to the Italian Renaissance artist, Benvenuto Cellini who was a master jeweler and sculpture. Measures 35.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 42 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$2875} Item #5094 SOLD

Description: PRISTINEMINT condition. Mid 1970's circulation. Unused condition. Never sold to the public. Head is original in every way and unopened. Sticker on the back is original. Beautiful multi color brown and orange dial.  Hand wound chronograph/timer and time keeper plus date (Valjoux 7740).  Original signed crown on top where the case is asymmetrically thicker than the bottom, opposite the crown and pushers. This design is commonly referred to as a Bullhead chronograph and is much more popular and comfortable than chronos with the usual crown placement. Our Hadley Roma Caiman crocodile strap is attached. Measures 43 mm wide (not including the crown) x 54 mm long x 16 mm thick. {$2675} Item #5155

Description: EXCELLENT condition. Formerly the property of a local collector. Beautiful Reference 1500 Swiss made automatic water and dust proof oyster cased Rolex in very nice condition. Plenty of small nicks and scuffs but no sign of dealer over buffing, if buffed at all. Signed Rolex screw down crown, non-quick set Rolex 26 jewel Caliber 1570 full rotor automatic movement and Ref. 78350, 19 mm oyster bracelet. The clasp has obvious signs of buffing and some small dents on the sides (of the clasp). Could be the collector who owned this put the spring link in. A special link has been added to go over the hand but the bracelet still fits a 7 and 1/2 inch wrist but just goes on easier. Bracelet does have 12 original links. The acrylic crystal is in excellent condition. This model circulated just before the price boom and probably sold for about $320 new. Today's watches start at about 5k in steel, more in two tone or gold.  Measures 35 mm wide (not including the crown) x 42 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$1675} Item #5141 SOLD

Two tone pie pans are around $1600 for perfect dials these days! Measures 35 mm wide (not including the crown) x 44 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$1075} Item #5098 HOLD

Description: VERYGOOD condition. When was the last time you saw a Cal. 321 for under 2k? Our philosophy at WatchCat is to teach while we sell so that our customers will see how much effort is put into honest evaluations. We talk about condition in three parts. Dial, case and movement. Usually the condition of each part matches, but not always. Cases show age and wear from physical contact with corrosive substances like sweat and oil from the skin and from hitting or scraping door jambs, desktops and other hard objects. Dials most often reveal age from exposure to oxygen, moisture, time and sunlight. Movements show age from multiple servicing, repairs (burr marks on screw heads, scratched bridges and plates, non-original replacement parts and wash-out of the gilt or nickel finish) and extended use. The point? Sometimes a watch can have a well used or scuffed up case and even an aged dial but still have a gorgeous nearmint movement. This 1963-64 Swiss made Omega chronograph shows extensive case wear and has been buffed heavily by our watchmaker to help the overall appearance. The original dial too shows dark spots here and there but the movement, a rare Caliber 321 is just awesome and a real cherry. We have fully serviced, oiled and timed it at great expense ($250 value/cost). Probably and according to our best guess (looking at watchmakers marks on the inside of the back) this watch was serviced 5 or 6 times in its lifetime of 45 years. No wash-out, a few burr marks and few if any scratches. Wayne, our watchmaker was impressed and you will be too. Just click on the image to the left for two super close-up views. All original including the crown and crystal. We can assume the Omega crystal is original since it has the symbol in the center, seen under a loupe. What probably is not original is the subsidiary seconds hand at 3. These usually match the other sub dial hands but are often changed by the owner for higher visibility. One of the genres we recommend for rapid appreciation. Comes with a new genuine croc strap and stainless steel buckle. Measures 36 mm wide (not including the crown) x 45 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$1875} Item #5083 SOLD
