So, around US$200-300 is a realistic figure? The watch is of no real sentimental or personal value so I would rather it was in the hands of someone who appreciated it more than me. Any suggestions on the best place to sell it?
I have 3 F300 Omegas, and an Eterna (same movement), all in gold filled cases, and all performing. Total expenditure, including repair parts is less than $100.00 Canadian. I would take one look at your Omega (in particular the worn out bracelet which would be difficult or impossible to replace), and I wouldn’t be at all interested, except possibly as a donor watch for another project. Sorry!
Is F300 an official model name? Mine also has "Seamaster" stamped on the back.
Check out eBay 'Sold' listings for Omega f300 or calibre 1250 watches.
If you’re selling it, or keeping it, I’d also suggest you buy a packet of Cape Cod polishing cloths and, very gently polish the case and the bracelet and then buff up with a soft cloth (I use an old cotton handkerchief) and, also, order a small single tube of Polywatch to polish the crystal.
Be careful not to get anything on the movement.
It's a mineral crystal so Polywatch is unlikely to help unfortunately. A Cape Cod polish won't hurt for sure.
eBay is the way to go no doubt.
If you get the correct version of Polywatch it would work fine on this.
Perhaps I should make this query a separate thread instead of hijacking this one, but has anyone successfully used the Polywatch product for glass? The instructions are complicated enough to suggest that it's not so simple and foolproof, and I've seen several random claims online that it doesn't actually work very well. Of course, it could be that those folks didn't actually follow the instructions. I haven't tried it myself as I haven't had the need, but I'm genuinely curious.
