    Hello members I am a new member from Panama. I have been a watch dealer for 25 years dealing in modern watches. Recently I bought one of the oldest watch repair facility in my country, they were the Oficial omega and tissot service facility in the 60’s and 70’s. I have over 35,000 vintage and antique parts including oem parts for almost all calibers of omegas, mostly new parts. I am trying to find the best way to sell them as a lot and I would appreciate any information and guidance on what to do with them or who specialize in those Parts.
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Hello Mamiye, welcome.

    Are the parts catalogued? Do you have a list of parts/calibres? Maybe pictures of the parts? :)

    Some parts might be valuable, while others, especially 70's models/quartz/ladies may not be. There are watchmakers who may need these parts and would definitely be interested in them..

    I have them categorized by caliber. I know I have parts for most calibers. And can take pictures of everything I have or people would like to buy.

    There are watchmakers on the forum who would be interested in your parts i would think, otherwise ebay is an option, but with so many parts it may become frivolous.

    I would start approaching watchmakers internationally. You can list them yourself on ebay, I also know https://watchparts.org.uk/cgi-bin/watchparts, where you can sell them yourself, but might be quite laborious if you sell them individually. I would be interested if you have any cal 1611 parts.

    Hello Mamiye

    I understood at the start that you want to sell them as a complete lot. If so, I'd contact one of the companies that already sell parts like this. There are a few out there. You won't get the best price but it will be easier than selling one by one.

    Can you put your list on a shared Google drive or OneDrive area?

    The other aspect is how they've been stored as these parts are old now and possibly not in the best of condition. If I understand, they are at least 40 years old and most of the packaging was not designed to keep them sealed for that length of time. A lot may be corroded so not of much use.

    Good luck, Chris

    If you have any 321 parts, I'd definitely list them on the forum first.

    Thanks for your advices. I will take pictures and start posting them here. I don’t want to sell the good stuff that everybody is looking for and be stuck with the not so desirable parts. And for me is time consuming and it’s not my main business even thou I know I have great and desirable parts I rather give a good price for the lot if somebody wants the whole package, again I will make the list and take pictures of everything.
