offshore Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Spotted here in Oz today. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Stunning-vintage-me...1QQcmdZViewItem This is very much my style, but don't have the readies this week. Will probably go to $6-700, but still a snip. Well known and respected seller, not to many probs there I imagine. And for the US guys, don't forget the current exchange rate, this will sell for less than a super rep, and is 100 times more wearable, IMHO.

automatico Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Good looking watch! I was a big GP fan back when they were cheap. Always had a soft spot for them so I kept a few... Steel 1960's/1970's Deep Diver in 90%+ condition with 39 jewel movement...bought it in a dive shop called 'It's About Time' in Daytona FL 19 years ago for $100. 18k no date GP with certified chrometer movement and nos 14k bracelet...$150 for the watch and $200 for the bracelet about 20 years ago. A couple GP 39 jewel watches, one steel ($105) and one gold filled ($30) about 15 years ago...the ss from a watch dealer in Wisconsin and the gf from the guy who bought it new. 14k nos automatic/date with original box and papers...$225 in 1990 from the dealer in Wisconsin. SS/14k gold cap like the one on Oz eBay, 17 jewels, no date for $75 in 1994. And a few others here and there...Sea Hawks etc. If one like on Oz eBay came across the trading table today, I would snatch it up. It looks like it has an A Schild movement in it, same as a lot of vintage Zodiac Sea Wolf watches. Here's what the Deep Diver looks like except mine looks new compared to this one... http://forums.timezone.com/index.php?t=tre...34971&rid=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Wonderfull vintage and still under $400 with 9 hours to go, I would love to look at this on my shelf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Don't forget Andy...that's Oz $$, about 2/3rd of yours today! I do expect a few "snipers" at the end though! (I'm going to guess at around A$750) Offshore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Just checked it...went for A$710...I wasn't far away... and may well have won it for this...although who knows what upper limit the buyer had placed? Do hope the buyer is from these walls...you have a bargain! Offshore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omni Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Just came across the thread, nice to see you have the same tastes Alan. That was a nice buy for someone, similar in looks to my vintage 1950's AP buy a couple of years ago although that one looks in better mint condition compared to mine. Great dress watch.

Nanuq Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Somebody got me in the last minute. I hope it went to a happy home here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 That's why you need a sniping program Bob! My guess is the buyer was sitting there with a snipe of +$1k, so any bid below, was doomed to failure. Still bloody good buying IMHO.

Shundi Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I think AuctionSnipe.com gives you three free snipes...worth trying out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Also think you can get a free month with Auction Sentry, which I use, and would recommend. Has been a real asset on ebay. Offshore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaedo Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 What happens when there are 2 people using the same sniping tool on the same auction though??? Does the internet collapse into itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
