Stupidly cheap Seadweller at giveaway price....

Classic lughole W Serial tritium Seadweller from 1994 with original Rolex Guarantee Certificate, boxes, booklets and seadweller tool kit.

Previous owner told me it had been serviced but did not have the paperwork, just a rolex service booklet that they send you after a service. It is in excellent condition though and keeping great time so would not surprise me.

Mint dial and matching hands. Lovely clean insert. Great looking case.

£3850 for quick sale :shock: :shock: :shock:

Agreed. The watch was apparently a 'stills' watch and only used for promotional shots etc. hence it's near NOS condition.

Hi Thomas,

I see that you have a nice vintage monza on your website. Could you post some pictures here. I was thinking of getting a Autavia but then I saw your monza. Now I'm lost........

Here you go

A lovely piece. Great dial and handset

Monza's cases were coated and over time many tarnish a bit so it has a chromey gold colour to the case so bear that in mind

Due to this I'm happy to do it at a very good price!

I've got to say I'm very tempted. But from that picture it's hard to see how gold the case is. Could you please pm me some more pictures?

Thanks!

Nice honest Omega Speedmaster MKII if anyone fancies one.

Just had a new crystal, sweep hand and check over.

Good case, lovely dial and hands

Can come on mesh pictured or original Omega signed (correct) bracelet to fit a very large wrist!
