Speak of overpricing...The movement: Maybe 200 buks or less for a new old stock one?......

Ok, I'm generous: You pay 11000 for the case alone and the scratches&dings are for free

Note: Restaured, not NOS...same seller is offering a NOS Seamaster 1000 dial and hands set...you see where I'm leading you as far as the Sharkmaster case...

I see that... At this price, the case should be in platinum. By the way, look this one who's in much better stand:http://cgi.ebay.com/OMEGA-PLOPROF-1000M-SEAMASTER-1975-DEEP-DIVER-NOS-/370405518498?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Wristwatches&hash=item563de3aca2#ht_10791wt_1137
You should just bid at 10000 and you will certainly have it....Without the scratches and dings!

I've been asking myself the same question in fact as I earlyer saw features like that on full case watches...If I don't mistake.
My own conclusion after reflection: As the back can't be unscrewed, those watches have to be open from the front...The crystal must go off.
But then, you don't have any direct acces on the movement's back: You have to pop it off from the case.
I guess that this "dimple", is in fact a screw who free a little hole in the back case.
By looking the place where the "dimple" is, it seems to be right over the screw on the movement's bridge, who free the crown stem.
Sounds logic to me: To free the movement from the case for any services, you have the free the stem from the movement.
By poping off the "dimple", a thin screw driver could acces the stem screw and free it, making possible to pop the movement off?
My conclusion...Am I right???

Well, as soon an original comes up, they allways use the fact that it went to so high price(17000$) on this Omegamania auction, to present a 10000buks as "cheap"...
So what's next?
If a multimillionnaire who can't wait to find a better deal and don't care about the price, is ready to pay 30000 on an auction for a mint piece...Then they will all be presented at the "cheap" price of 25000???
