SOLD! To the gentleman from Germany.
Not something you see for sale everyday this Seamaster CK14755 was missing the bezel but still fetched a good price.
Introduced in 1960 as the successor to the original CK 2913 it is maybe the best choice of the first wave of Seamaster’s with its caliber 552.
Personally I think it was just too expensive in that condition at 958.00 EURO’s, but what do I know!
A big thanks to our friend Velociphile for this great primer.

Can you guess?
The increasingly excellent Fratello Watches Blog is one year old today, congrats!
Despite being a Panerai fan [“just fashion watches nothing else”*] Robert still has a soft spot for Omega and moderates over at WUS. I believe Robert was the first person to link to this site which shows he has great taste despite the Panerai obsession.
Happy Birthday!

What does interest me though is the staff picture. I can’t make my mind up whether they have just finished shooting a 1970’s p0rn movie……..or are just about to.
1. Never trust a jeweller.
2. Appraisals usually have a percentage of value component, there is a clue there.
3. To find the true value start the auction at £1 with no reserve, where in finishes is its value.
As a general tip don’t put a genuine Omega in a fake box, sends the wrong signal.
This timepiece was recently serviced by a high class premier jewellers in my local town centre, costing £200 with receipt to prove, he also appraised the watch for a further cost of £45, and valued the Omega at £5000 pounds with which a certificate is supplied as proof.
And now for sale on ebay, back to Earth with a bump.
The papers that come with this watch have a certificate stating that the following: “On the 1st of July 1993, 35 Omega Speedmaster Professional Chronographs were transported by the Soyuz-TM launch rocket to the space station MIR. They underwent the most stringent tests in the extreme conditions of space, before being returned to earth in the Summer of 1994.”
I hate to say it but me and the Cosmic haven’t been getting along that well lately. I can trace it back to the time I fitted an original Omega Black leather watch strap, nice but…..well boring.
So today in dropped a very cheap strap with a little more of a racey feel to it, on the Cosmic it went and I haven’t had it off since [boom boom!].
Just can’t get Je t’aime out my mind…..
Lots of pictures of the loved one……. Read the rest of this entry »

I have been a bond fan now for just about 10 yrs. I was 12 when Goldeneye was released, ever since then I’ve been a fan! I remeber my brother and I going to see that movie on opening weekend and afterwards wanting one of those watches from the movie only to find out that Omega watched could not be afforded on a lawn cutting wages.
