    First of all i have to say that i don't own the catalogue :)

    I found it on a local trading platform and once made a small bid, just so much, it was 1/6 of the supposedly highest offer.

    Now I would be interested to know what you would pay for it !?

    A little look behind the scenes: The Speedmaster and Seamaster 300 Page of the Catalogue with the german price back in the days.

    And yes I have saved all the photos of the ad for my archive :)

    I would be interested to flip through it once but that’s probably it. I wouldn’t pay anything for it either.

    I think the box&paper set would have a strong interest here. If my seamaster was in it, maybe $25 - $30. It would be fun for sure

    edit: by box&paper set, I mean those who collect and value those

    This catalogue is highly collectable. It has the very rare "Speed master" title under the photo.

    I'll buy old catalogs and interesting advertisements for the eras and marques I'm researching. Maybe $20 for a catalog, $10 or less for an advert. Some old Omega catalogs can be found online.

    I usually buy a vintage ad to put up on my wall whenever I get a watch I am happy with. I usually only pay about $10-$20 for the cut out magazine ads. I figure a full brochure would be worth a fair bit more no?

    I have a few old catalogues from the 50's and 60's and for the good ones I'll go up to about €40

    Hello all,
    the Seller told me he has an offer about 150€, i also thought 25€ should be enough, that was my offer.

    Verry interesting thoughts out there.
