I just looked up your little stir the pot thingy. Not true. As far as I know, two jewelers, it's real. Yes, it has been in the sock drawer for around 35 years. Yes, I had no idea what it was worth. If I don't sell it I will leave it to my grandson. I am also selling my 1973 motorcycle but his mother says "No Way" to leaving it to him.
Rich, your Seamaster XVI is a Melbourne Olympics Commemorative edition from 1956. It's worth at least $2500 and could go up to $4000 depending on condition - and we need much better pictures from all angles to see what shape it's in.
Good luck with your sale!
While I am trying to figure out this photo thing, a question for the group. When I put this on Ebay, would it be worth the trouble and cost to get a new Omega leather band for it? If so, where?
If you're going to post on Ebay, you'll want more attractive pictures. But for people on this forum - they should be good enough. It looks pristine!
Just duplicate the pics you've taken.
Use a large sheet of paper (A3 or so) in a medium colour as a background and prop the watch using a ball of blutack.
Make sure your phone or camera is steady by using a rest or even a tripod, or more blutack.
Dial shot should be directly in front, try to avoid reflections, rear and side shots are about the same as you already did.
Try to use natural light near a window and set your camera to macro (little flower thing in settings) if you can.
Don't let anybody try to remove the back cover unless you are sure that they know what they are doing.
It's not difficult but a gold case is extremely unforgiving of the wrong tools in the hands of the unskilled.
Good luck with it.
Cheers
Jim
That is one NFW! 🥰
