Dear Forum,

I am still in the game for my first vintage Omega watch. After spending hours and hours searching for a model larger than 34mm in diameter (as I have fairly wide wrists), I found this example on ebay. On the pictures, it looks like its in good condition. The auction ends in 3.5 hours and the price is hovering juist under 500€.
As I don't want to overpay too much, how much approximately would be a fair value for this piece?

Thanks in advance for your advice and help!

Best Regards

Jonas

A quick Google tells me this case ref. is somewhere between 33.5mm and 34.5mm depending on which sellers dimensions you believe, certainly I find it nowhere at 35-36mm....unless an unscrupulous seller has measured it with crown of course...

The dial has been refinished, so that is reason enough for me to say the watch, even where it is now at €477, is already quite overpriced.

 

Hey Cristos71,

thank you very much for your kind reply. I will most certainly stay away from that watch. I still struggle to distinguish refinished dials from original ones.

Best
