Rolex man...Omega purchase

[SSonly]

The part of this forum dedicated to Omega has failed me twice.No one has answered my question which is the following:What is a fair price to pay for a 1967 Omega Speedy with "new everything" except the case and of course the wonderful 321 movt. Every new component is original Omega and to 1967 specs.I am sorry to post this here but I would like an honest answer from someone with experience in this matter.As always thanks a lot in advance.

Failed you ???????????

The forum is not a personal shopping service. Especially with a question like "How much is one of these worth"

A 1967 original Speedy, in mint condition can go from 3,000 to over 5,000 bucks and possibly more, depending on dial, history, service records, etc..

But one with "new everything" except the case might not be worth more than 750 to 1200. And how can anybody prove that the C. 321 movement is "original" if nothing else is..

Larry,

I think this is another case where you need to re-read how you replied.

His question was very clear with no attitude and your repsonse was really uncalled for.

You really need to stop snapping at people when they are just requiring information.

I really don't that Larry has to re-think anything.

What I really think is that you don't need to tell Larry or another mod how to respond to a thread.

Sorry if my post was misunderstood.I am not looking to be treated with preference but do not want to be treated as less than any other forum member and certainly I do not want to cause a dispute between forum members.Thanks a lot for the info.The movt. and the case are from 67 because it belongs to a person I know.unfortunately the dial was tampered with by inexperienced hands and messed up.this is a great forum and I hope it stays that way.A great source of info and a place to relax after a day of work.

Glad you made an informed decision.

No one here has the right to snap at people for making honest inquiries whether it being a mod or a member.

We all can get along and respond in a civil manner even if you don't agree with the thread topic.

No one has the right to cast negativity and mods should lead by example. We all have the right to ask a question without having our head blow off for no reason.

Larry in the past has posted in this matter and has re-read his past posts and has personally noticed how they were a little harsh.

Casting snide comments like "this is not your personal shopping service.." seems to counteract what everyone comes here to do, and that is to get good information about a future purchase.

For an honest inquiry, you're correct.

For someone to say the forum has failed them, well that's plain ignorant.

For someone to tell a mod how to act when they're addressing an ignorant issue, that's called stupidity.

He said a forum section failed him, not the whole damn board. No one responded.

And calling me stupid is another example of an unfair insult when I never insulted anyone.

I thought this place was a friendly place to share information, not for mods to gang up and insult members defending the premise of a thread.

It's very friendly and if you stick around, you'll find that out.

Mods don't 'gang up' on members. We support each other and cover each other's backs.

I never called you stupid, just your actions.

Well then I suppose you are not calling me ignorant ....

Thanks a lot.You are the kind of member for which I am part of this forum.Certainly there are things that you can tell under certain circumstances but I agree with you(obviously)that my thread in any way was offensive.Moderatora are the lst ones that I expected to reply in such manner.

Good on you CanuckRolex... I'm not enjoying mods (no one specific) getting too excited too quick too..

it needs to settle.. I enjoy this forum and communicating with the people who visit it about watches also... not because of mods quick replies.. and threats about shutting down threads and bans..

Enough said.. I'll get off my soap box.. and resume my usual.. posts..

I don't think the mods are doing anything wrong, in fact I really like and appreciate the way they run this forum. If you just consider the features and resources available here, I think its the best forum on the internet hands down. I have all the respect in the world to all the mods, I give them all the credit for the "original spark" of this forum growing to how it has become today.

As for banning everyone, I hope I'm one of the last ones in line...

Now lets all toast to TRF and everyone who is a part of it, members and mods alike.

[CanuckRolex]

Thread is done, I said what I wanted to say.

I just want this place to be kept friendly.

A Rolex forum might not be the best place to get an authoritative answer to your query. Anyone know of a good Omega forum out there?
