cjjoyce1 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hey guys I need your collective help. Sometimes we look at reps so much when we see a gen, our eyes think we see "tells". Hands look right, insert and pearl look good, HE valve placement o.k. - but since making my franken 5512, I see real stuff and go - naawww can't be. https://picasaweb.google.com/marshall.pangkey/OmegaSeamaster#5589582660630044194 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 That's genuine mid-size Seamaster, which is MUCH cheaper on the preowned market than the actual Professional version. Stay away unless you have Karen Carpenter's wrists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjjoyce1 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Stay away unless you have Karen Carpenter's wrists. Yeah, I knew it was a 2551, not a 2531. I'm thinking about it for a gift. Thanks, Bro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jsuperman17 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 yup its a gen! but as by-tor said a midsize and a big no no for guys.. it'll look tiny on anyone wrist... how much is he asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjjoyce1 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 900.00 in a face to face deal - he's local to me. And I know you have a full size for sale, Jason - it's just outside my wallet's reach right now, unfortunately. I wouldn't hesitate to do business with you again!

Guest jsuperman17 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hahaha in no way or shape was implying for you to buy mine! Lol I mean I'd don't mind either but ummm 900 is a bit much no? Especially the condition it's in... I'd ask him way DOWN brother... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolluke Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 With all due respect....this watch is 36mm without the crown. I own a mid-size and it looks great on my 7.25 inch wrist. I will say if you have a wrist on the larger side go for the full size. $900 is a good price and it is also a "Professional" with COSC automatic.

Pakz Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 I second coolluke on that... I have a speedmaster reduced and it doesn't look shockingly small on my wrist... My wrist is 7.75 and I'm a frequent fiddy, B&R BR02 and so wearer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arizac Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) I bought a quartz used gen seamaster 42mm for $800 on ebay. You just have to look carefully and often at the sales!! And what about one for $900? http://watchcrowd.com/watch-forum-listing/FS-Omega-seamaster-BOND-2541-80-00-blue-bezel-dial-900-4 Edited April 1, 2011 by arizac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
