Steal of a price!

In Response To: FS: FANTASTIC OMEGA SEAMASTER "ANAKIN SKYWALKER" REF. 145.023 ()

I'm sorry you have to depart with this AMAZING piece. I have to say, that your price is truly a steal, especially in that amazing condition. I am sure you will have no time selling this piece. If I did not own two already, I would purchase this one too! The colors alone are jaw dropping!

Keep in mind guys, this is a very rare piece, and as an "investment", I don't think this specific model has even seen the appreciation that it will in the coming years.

Good luck on your sale, but I don't think you need any. :)

: I am selling this fantastic Omega Seamaster "Anakin
: Skywalker" ref. 145.023.
: The watch has to go to finance an expensive Heuer Autavia.

: When I discovered this reference I really wanted to ad this
: legendary Seamaster to my collection.
: So after looking for about six months and with some help from Carlo
: I was able to buy this one.
: When I received it the crown sat loose in the case but Abel was
: able to fix this very fast.

: So the watch is mechanically in perfect condition, keeping
: extremely good time and chrono working 100%.
: Setting time goes very smooth; pushers very crisp when using the
: chrono.

: This Skywalker is 100% Omega original.
: Dial is probably the best I have ever seen with the colors
: extremely bright;
: original and matching lume on dial and hands; inner ring is
: still very white with zero stains.

: The case has the high polish tungsten-chrome finish. This
: material is known to be very hard but brittle at the same time.
: It was chronograph legend Chuck Maddox that nicknamed
: the tungsten-chrome Seamaster ref.145.023 as being the ‘Anakin
: Skywalker Seamaster’ and the black finish model as the
: ‘Darth Vader’ Seamaster. On his website, he described the
: two watches in detail:
: http://www.chronomaddox.com/darth_vader.html

: The case of my watch in particular is in an overall very good
: condition;
: Chrome finish is still very shiny; the fragile edges are very good
: and razor sharp.
: Only flaw can be found between the upper lugs ( see 5th picture )
: were a bit of the fine top tungsten layer has chipped off.
: In real it's very difficult to see but I don't want to hide this.
: Crystal is in very good condition.

: Model: Omega Seamaster ref. 145.023
: Movement: Omega Caliber 861

: If you do some research on the internet you will find out that this
: Omega Skywalker is extremely difficult to find.
: Those I found when looking for one were always very expensive or
: not fully original.
: Right now there are three for sale on Ebay priced between 4799 USD
: and 6999 USD.

: Price: 3850 euros ( insured shipping and new 22mm ARMIDA
: CUDA rubber strap included )
: ( I give a full refund in case the watch has a problem or would not
: be as described )

: Kind regards,
: Bernard
