What should we expect a 2007 model Seamaster to sell for?

 

What they are all listed for

 

Bidding!

 

Check the last five that sold

 

Do we know when the ceramic bezel was introduced on the Omega 300 Diver?

 

If only there was a search website that we could type in questions such as this and the answers would be at our fingertips.

 

The prices the second hands are going for its worth buying new

 

You loose less than 1K a year

 

That is a looker, what is the case size on that? I don’t even mind buying midsize which can also save a few Bob notes

 

I don’t wear divers often so I picked up a used Tag Aquracer for 385. If you look around a lot of tags lose 50% when you walk out the door. I think the one I got brand new was over 1,200 which is insane. I’m not big on tags I just ran across a good deal. It will be my only one but it does have a nice dial.

 

Tag somehow don’t hold resale value even when prices similar to the Omega.
The Seamaster will take about 15 years to get to half price of retail at the time it was purchased.
This just begs the question, does one get a new one and sell it many years later for not much loss. Or does one get an old one that doesn’t have the latest design but still end up paying atleast 50% of what the current retail price is.

 

There is a Dec 2018 Seamaster Diver 300 for $5000 Aud, rubber belt.
That a fair price?

 

Have you tried a PO for a few $$ more

That is a sharp looking watch.

 

What year model would that be?

 

Google this

Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Co-Axial Wristwatch Ref. 232.30.42.21.01.002


Google knows all

 

It’s discontinued, so an old watch.

 

Swiss Military thingy, nicely made, cheap, tough, you won't feel too bad if you kill it. In fact you might even laugh.


Citizen ISO diver, serious kit, tough, never needs a battery. I don't think it can be killed.


Bulova Oceanographer reissue (on the right)... almost too nice to beat on.

 

In 15 years? It could be worth scrap metal for all we know. So, Rolex look, fit and finish, Rolex value retention in the near or even far future, but not Rolex money to spend... too many unknowns in your equation.

If you really want some value retention, buy a gold bar. Otherwise, forget it and buy a watch you can actually afford, and gives you some pleasure. We could advise you on that, not on resale value in 15 years.

Sorry to be a bit harsh but this "resale value" is beginning to get on my nerves; everybody talks about it nowadays. A watch is an expensive trinket, a self indulging expenditure not really an investment.

 

I feel the same way about houses- buy one you want to live in- not strictly as an investment. My in-laws only buy as investment and they move every year- the last one they moved after 3 months when another “investment” popped up, never really unpacked! Each house for them is about dollars and not about enjoying life in it- I couldn’t live like that
