1968 Omega Seamaster “Sparkle Dial”

I'm looking to let go of this Omega Seamaster. While I do not have service history, I can state that it runs great and I had the movement verified by a jeweler when I bought it a year ago. What's a fair amount I can ask for?

New to the Vintage Accutron World. I'm loving it!!

Last month I came across and bought my first vintage Accutron M8 (image 3) on a whim. Absolutely love it and the history!

Last week I pulled the trigger on a 1963 Spaceview and received it today. Needless to say, I'm in awe 😍

ISO: Accutron Spaceview Brass Desk Clock

I'd be interested in speaking with anyone that is looking to sell one of these. I think it's an Accutron Spaceview Brass Desk Clock. Not sure of the official name. Thank you in advance for any direction.

[SPB147] Advice needed: Running Slow

Recently bought this SPB147 on the grey market. It seems to be running slow. About 5 mins over the course of 8-10hours. Is this a hard fix, or should I try to return it? The seller seems willing to provide a partial refund. Thank you in advance.

New addition to my collection: 1968 Bulova Accutron M8

1968 Bulova Accutron bearing the date code M8 and serial number 1-664438, powered by the Caliber 218D tuning fork movement.

The case is gold-filled with a stainless steel back, waterproof-rated, in the classic cushion (bombe) style. The dial is a silver/champagne brushed sunburst with applied gold baton indices and a date window at 3 o’clock.

It was not a steal, but I definitely didn't overpay. I'm happy with this addition.

Vintage Omega Seamaster CK 14710 — Cal. 501 Automatic

Honest example of an early-‘60s Seamaster from Omega’s international collection (1960–1962). Two-tone silver crosshair dial with faceted dagger indices, applied Omega logo, and original dauphine hands showing light age-appropriate patina. Case retains good lines with crisp lugs — light surface marks consistent with 60+ years of wear, no signs of heavy polishing.

Specs:
• Reference: CK 14710
• Case: Stainless steel, 35mm, screw-in caseback
• Movement: Omega Caliber 501, automatic, 20 jewels
• Crystal: Acrylic w/ light scratches
• Crown: Hermetic (not water-resistant)
• Bracelet: Period-correct stainless beads-of-rice (not confirmed original to the watch)

Condition: Running strong and keeping good time on the wrist. Service history unknown — recommend a service at the buyer’s discretion as preventive maintenance on any 60+ year-old movement. Dial is original and unrestored. Movement is clean with no visible corrosion or rust (see photo).

Only reason I selling is because it looks too small on my 7.75 inch wrist.

Asking $1,250 OBO. PayPal & Venmo. If local, I can meet in Austin/San Antonio, Texas.
