Hooded lugs, black dial, help

Masterofkarate · Mar 20, 2019

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😀

That's a lot high.

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.
