·Hello everyone,
As I am browsing the internet looking for my first vintage omega I found this piece on an auction site. The condition seems great and the auction will start in a couple of days with no reserve. It's not the gold watch I am looking for but if I manage to get this for a decent price I'll be more than happy.
Now here comes my question. How high should I go for a watch in this condition as the estimated price on the website says $3,913-$5,087?
To me this seems a bit excessive but I could probably go up 1200-1400 USD for it (without the 25% premium buyer fee).
What are your opinions?
