    Hi Good Folks

    What do you think of this watch?
    It is a black honeycomb dial which I think looks really cool.
    The seller at a local market is asking 2300 USD. Isn't that a tad high?
    I do not see these hooded lugs to often. What are your thoughts?
    Cal.354, ref 14350-4 sc.

    Sorry for bad photos.
    Thank you for your time:)

    Not surprised by the price. the movement looks pretty knackered and there's little to go by to evaluate the dial, but a black hobnail dial in good condition in that case type is very collectable.

    Here's one MSNWatch sold six years ago in gold cap and white dial. $1200 which, apparently, was a good price then.

    Hooded lugs - uncommon.
    Hobnail dial - uncommon.
    Black dialed bumper Seamster - very uncommon.

    Together it makes for a very nice package.

    I still think you can get it for less than $2000.

    Very hard to find nice hobnails! This dial looks to be in excellent shape and the case doesn't look bad either. I'd say if you can buy it for $1500-$1800 you've done a good job. Even at $2k or thereabouts it's worth considering....try finding another!

    Here's mine, without the hooded lugs, and just fantastic on the wrist.

    Agree with @cristos71
    Here is a different example - cal. 352 constellation with the original 18k flatlink omega bracelet.
