jmv831 Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Huy guys. My friend works for a local pawnshop here near where I live and he's been giving me insides when he has nice watches coming up for sale. He's offering me this Omega Seamaster Planet ocean. Now I've just seen this few minutes ago and took a quick picture while his boss wasn't around. This watch is the real deal but its huge. Too big for my tiny wrist. Now I was thinking of flipping it. Only thin is it has no papers. My question is what model is this and what's the selling price on this if I was to sell it on eBay? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougar1 Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 That's the 45mm PO or PO XL, yep it is a big watch. Prices have creeped up a little on these 2nd hand over the past year, as they are now discontinued. In the UK at the moment prices on 2nd hand models like this are around £1500 to £1700+ depending on condition. Without box and papers will take a little off the price but not too much. Can't see why it wouldn't sell for around £1500-£1600 or equivalent. It also has a bracelet, which is a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmv831 Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 So this is a winner for 1200 USD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slask111 Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Yes it is. 1200$ is a steal Skickat från min GT-I9100 via Tapatalk 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougar1 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Absolutely, $1200 is a great price, too good to be true almost, you'd barely build a franken for that. If he is offering it to you at that price take his arm off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HartDoc Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Awesome price and watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmv831 Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Ok I was gonna pay for it yesterday but the owner won't budge in 1500 out the door. he saw that I was so eager to buy the watch. So I left. Imma come back tomorrow (Monday) and see if he will consider my offer again if not ill still get it for 1500 since I can easily make a grand off it. If ever this will be my third gen watch bought that i made good profits and will be able to flip it easy for my ultimate target watch.

cougar1 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 tbh, go for it @ $1500 ovno and take it off his hands, as you say, instant profit, I know we all like a bargain but in this case maybe better to keep him happy, The longer it goes on the less likely you get the deal...just hope the delay doesn't have him go searching google and ebay to get an estimate of value. He could be coming back Monday firm @ $2K+. Anyway best of luck, hope you get it, what watch are you looking for btw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmv831 Posted December 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) I just back from Hasselbeins Jewelry in Carmel CA an AD of Rolex and Omega. I alway bring stuff there for authenticity check just to make sure. The pawnshop owner guarantees that this is a gen watch and I trust him. Bought a lot of stuff from him. Yeah we have a good relationship. I'm just stoked with this purchase and I decided I'm keeping it. This will be my Christmas gift to myself! She's a keeper! Here she is. Took pics with my iPhone 5 the best I could. Enjoy! Payment made earlier. My small wrist shot Edited December 24, 2012 by jmv831 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winno Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 whoah...thats a big watch...i know big dials are in vogue at the moment, but it will pass... /thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmv831 Posted December 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 (edited) i just had it sized and to be honest this watch is growing on me. got some compliments while i was drinking coffee at starbucks. im in love with the Rolex Sub but this watch will be a competitor for me. The size doesn't bother me at all specially now its been sized. it feels really solid and on the heavy side a tad heavier than my Tag Aquaracer 500m. The lume on this is amazing it stands out and shows right away on low shaded areas. I will be keeping this for a long time. Here's a comparison with my Tag Heuer Aquaracer 500m Edited December 25, 2012 by jmv831 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougar1 Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 Great stuff, at the price wear it for a while and if you find it too big then you can easily trade it for a 42mm with no loss. You got a winner here, I think it fits great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandal.tbh Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 That's a good grab. The Aquaracer is a relatively light watch, so just about everything is going to feel heavier. Personally, I like a big heavy watch. Congrats.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
