Hey everyone馃榾
I hope you can help me with a valuation of an Omega Speedmaster.
The watch will eventually be auctioned off by a local pawn shop.

As you can see, it's an Apollo XI Anniversary Edition from 1994.
It's being sold as "watch only", running but with no known service history.

What are your thoughts?

What are your thoughts on it?
Of the condition or the value?
I have no idea of the value, but the watch looks to be in ok condition.
The bezel is in good condition, the dial looks good with lume matching the hands. The crystal is a bit scratched up, but that buffs out.
The case is in worn condition but unpolished.
The pawn shop doesnt deal with fakes, everything comes with authenticity papers from a brand watch maker.
Whats your thougts? 馃榾
PS! The pictures seems to worsen in quality when I upload them, I can see more details than on these pictures.

I would say it has been polished like many watches have, but not excessively so. It鈥檚 hard to give much more of an assessment from the limited photos which are poor quality.

I鈥檝e no idea re price. I鈥檇 suggest doing some research on the historic sales prices going back 3-5 years, keeping in mind these came in a couple of variations and the lack of box/papers with such a watch will likely impact value.

Thanks for your feedback @Davidt ! Its much appreciated!
You're probably right about the case, Ill try to reupload some better pictures some time tomorrow anyway.

Ive been looking through prices for the last sold a couple of years back, but cant find any sold "watch only".
I would imagine the lack of box/papers for this model will impact the price a great deal.
Ill keep looking, thanks again 馃榾

Do you have photo of caseback? Does it say Limited Edition xxx/2500? Or is it display back? There are several variations that may vary considerably in value. What is asking price?
