That’s the day-date Dynamic (cal. 752) in the blue/silver two-tone dial - one of the nicer variants, and it looks to be on its original Dynamic bracelet, which helps. But it’s still a common watch, and the market for these is well established.


Comps: a blue-on-silver 166.079 sold on Omega Forums privately for US$500, and dealer asking prices on Chrono24 for clean examples mostly run US$600–1,000 (asking, not selling). Private/auction value in very good original condition sits around US$500–700, call it CA$700–1,000.


The catch is the juice. Miller & Miller adds a buyer’s premium (~18–20% online) plus HST, so $750 hammer is already roughly $1,000–1,050 CAD all-in - right at full retail money. And you’re buying it unserviced; figure another $300+ if it needs a service.


So my take: it’s already at fair value. If you really want it, I’d stop at $850–900 hammer (about $1,150–1,200 all-in) - and only that high if you can confirm the bracelet is the correct Omega one with decent link count and the dial is as clean in hand as in the photos. Past that you’re paying more than you could buy one for off the forum sales corner with no premium.
gh should I go?
All original and in very good condition .
