OMEGA MegaQuartz 2.4MHz Marine Chronometer : US$9,000 (SOLD!)

One of 2 OMEGA Marine Chronometers I am putting up for sale.
Note serial number: 37059507

Dubbed "The World's Most Accurate Wristwatch", Omega collectors will probably agree this is one of the rarer collectibles from the Constellation range (other than the Cloisonnes of course!)

Omega,“Constellation, Marine Chronometer, Megaquartz, f2,4 MHz”, No. 37059507, Ref. ST 198.0082 / 398.0832. Sold on April 12, 1977. Very fine, rare, and exceptionally accurate, large, rectangular, dead center seconds, water-resistant (but I cannot guarantee water resistance for a vintage like this), stainless steel gentleman`s wristwatch with date, independent hour adjustment and 14K gold bezel and an integral Omega bracelet with deployant clasp.

Comes with a receipt to show it was serviced in 1981, an ORIGINAL manual (in German) and ORIGINAL chronometer certificate from the University of Besancon. Compare with the one sold at eBay on 10 Jan 2013 (article number 130813380789), No. 37057175 (as opposed to my 37059507), which was sold for GBP 9,750 (about US$ 14,800!). I am offering this at US$9,000 free trackable shipping.
