·What are your thoughts on overall condition?
Have you found any comparable sales listing or sold prices?

·A quick research of the seller - the Omega Enthusiast - will tell you what you need to know about his products (great quality) and his prices (a few times market value). There are even threads on the forum about this.

·what would you say 2471 is worth. would 12500 be drastically overpaying
Yes, very much so. Have you checked eBay for sold items? Even on Chrono24 - the world's largest watch market - you'll find 16 hits if you search for "Omega 2471". Note that those are available, meaning that nobody has yet been willing to meet the sellers' asking prices.
But it's your choice. The alternatives are investing a lot of time or settling for a lesser quality.
Good price, good quality, good availability. Pick two. That's how the game works, I'm afraid.

··Vintage Omega Aficionado"The case back does show some light dings and appears to have been sanded."
"appears to have been sanded." = This is the best I could do to remove the severe pitting.
Looks like a moon rock would be more accurate.

thats helpful. the quality seems great. but I’m not hurried to make the purchase and willing to invest the time for a better price. fear it’ll be hard to find the same quality though
I need to look more at eBay.

·I had one of these and I sold it $4300 this time last year. It was all original but had one mark on the dial. Otherwise perfect and all working condition. I think a price around $5000 would be suitable.

oh wow! any chance you’d have another at some point to sell? any pictures of the one you sold. I want to purchase one that will hold its value. I’d hate to buy at 12,500 and if my children ever go to sell they’d sell at a loss

Welcome to the forum and good luck with your search!
But, I must say: while we all would like our watches to hold their value, watch collecting could go the way of beanie babies by the time your children inherit them. Buy watches because you like collecting, not for investment purposes.

·The price is very high, and I wouldn't buy it. But you could also wait a LONG time to find one with an original dial for a fair price. So it depends how determined you are to buy this particular reference, and how much the money matters to you. If you are new to vintage watches, this is not the easiest starting point.
