The thing with ebay is that it is a worldwide market. Its hard, especially in buffalo, to sell watches in person. I dont know off the top of my head what that watch would be worth, but i have a pricing book at the shop, i can take a look for you on tuesday if youd like. Your 265 seems to be in excellent shape and you should have no problem selling it. ---

My dad’s omega has been over in Switzerland for a couple months getting work done. I can’t wait to see it done. Right now I have been looking at an Oris to add to the collection. ---

for the money, i dont think you can get a better everyday watch than an ORIS F1. you can pick them up for like $450 shipped in mint shape with all the paperwork. it’s an entry level swiss auto but wears very very well. i prefer it over alot of the Omega’s that are 3-4x the price. It’s got a great motorsports look and feel to it that i prefer well over the Omega seamasters and if you put it next to a Hamilton at a similar price point you can tell very quickly that the Oris is a better piece in virtually every way. I tried on a Hamilton Khaki X-Wind and it felt very plastic. plus you still cant get the X-wind’s under $800 used. ---

Ugh so I had to grab some parts from the dealership this weekend and the manager was wearing a watch that was SO HOT! I went and grabbed my parts and after went looking for him to ask what it was and he had taken off. ☹ It was a black faced chrono with white(whatever they are called…the date and stuff). And a great looking black band. Looked leather. ---

bing, i looked in the book and judging by the picture, its a 15 jewel english military style watch circa 1946. The book says that in extra fine condition its worth ~$500 and in mint condition ~$700. This book is also from 2006 so its just a rough estimate. ---

Isn’t the old addage that you should only buy watches under $250and over $2500, everything in the middle is crappola? I could be making that up. I need some new watches. ---

Quit being lame and buy some then. No clue about the saying but the higher ones seem to have great resale. Most of what I have bought have listed right in the $2k area and I am sure I will lose my ass someday. Luckily for me watches is not how I make my money! ---

The watch retails for 3 grand they want 2,200. Unauthorized websites sell it for 1,500 - 2,000. For 1,500 from an authorized dealer I am pulling the tigger, otherwise I would probably sit on the fense for a little longer.
