Not so long ago, I purchased this movement that thought it was a good idea to scrap the 18k gold case and band. I happened to find it among some other watches I purchased from the same person. I didn't realize how rare this watch was until I found the details of how many were made. ( In case you have in interest of the history, heres a link for those who want to know more https://www.omegamegaquartz.com ) We'll now I don't know what to do with it, other than to list it, but I don't know if it would be a better idea of what to do, or what can be done. At this stage, it's is a pile of parts and it breaks my heart to truly look at it, knowing it's history and rarity.
The parts do have value, as these are difficult watches to maintain well & parts can be hard to find. Your best bet is to list them on eBay. Real shame the watch was broken up, but I guess you know that
I don't think it's in running condition, but I know that it's missing some parts. I suppose I can look for the parts that need to be replaced and try to bring it back to life. Only issue id the 18k case and bracelet.
From what I recall, the movements are hard to work on. So unless you really know what you're doing with it, you could easily go down another rabbit hole it you want to rebuild it. Well, assuming you can find the parts you need... Personally, I would sell it as it is. Then someone who knows what they're doing can take it for spares. There are collectors and specialist watchmakers who want spare movements like this as back up in case they need to cannibalize parts in future. That said, if you know your way around the movement and don't mind getting stuck with random bits that don't sell, you could try breaking it down and selling it for individual parts. I doubt that's worthwhile for most people, but you might feel differently. We used to have a UK member who specialised in these, but he hasn't been around for a long time. Actually, you might want to contact Simon Freese as he used to service these for members who had them. He's a UK watchmaker a lot of us use. You can get his details by googling him. Even if he doesn't want to buy what you have, he might give you a better idea of what to do, or of value.
