Seeking any help in identifying this and opinions on whether cracks around edge of glass affect its value. Cracked not shattered.

I thinking a collector will still pay good money for this…

Thanks in advance for any input.

My understanding is that it is a late 1960s/1970s-era stopwatch, I'm sure there is model number inside the case back if you cared to look. The case adds a few dollars to the value.

Last I looked for one of these, you could get them for $3-400 in near mint shape.

Heres a similar one that went for 180 GBP: https://www.iconicauctioneers.com/rec03928-67-0316

And another one, in a little better shape than yours that went for ~$240 (Slightly different configuration).

The broken crystal DEFINITELY negatively affects the value, though it doesn't really have a ton anyway. IF I were to be bidding on this somewhere, I probably could max out at about $150 if I had a few beers first.

Shattered, being held together by the case.

More stopwatch help here.

Here is the result of some compilation work about Omega and Lemania Timers. It's based on my own collection, some old Omega and Lemania catalogues and of course the Omega "A Journey through time"...

Cheers Eric. So would you be drinking English Bitter when making that that bid? As in $£150?

Cheers @ErichKeane. So would you be drinking English Bitter when making that bid? As in £150 a fair valuation in your opinion
