    Hello,

    I read many of the other posts with many of the members here providing insightful feedback to members as they look to make purchases. I wanted to through a few out there and see what everybody thought.


    #1 - to me this is a classic look. First time I have seen a one button chrono, but i really like the look.

    #2 - I just love the case, and I am a huge fan of blue dial watches. I suspect this is priced way to high given the condition of the dial.

    #3 - this is flat out awesome. They are accepting offers. What would be a fair price for this one?

    For #3 I wouldn't go anywhere over £1100 / US$1700. It is absolutely not at all rare & there are much better examples that are on the Market. The case is ok & not great, particularly the clarity of the starburst marking.The dial is not in good condition & the asking price he has is in tune with the top prices being asked in Europe (for much better examples), but which nobody is buying at.

    By the way, a member on here has a nice one he wanted to sell - although it is a version that is without the tachymeter ring.

    Edit: you could also check these out as alternatives: https://www.chrono24.com/en/search/...earch=true&searchexplain=true&resultview=list
    Although these are also overpriced as the Market for them is softening quite a lot after a fairly hot period in Europe.

    #1 is a nice looking watch. Average is about $750 - $850 for it given the condition. Check the seller's feedback. They have two negatives for selling fake vintage Omega items (a buckle and a strap).

    Pass on #2. These come up with mint dials frequently and the seller has high hopes as far as pricing.

    #3 has a CRAZY B.I.N. price. Ron / smithrjd is the member here who has one he'd like to sell or trade:

    Dear respectable member Taddyangle,

    I am also quite new to all this. It seems to me that once a watch has been identified as legitimate with or without a minor issue the value that is 'reallistic' may not hold true depending on what country you are in and how much you want the particular watch and are prepared to pay. Auctions in particular are a prime example where a watch mat go for 'less' or 'more' than it's 'worth' depending on demand!

    iMT58 - I would agree. I think the forum members do a great job of assisting us to determine what would be a fair price so that we can determine a price we would be willing to pay. As far as geography, this is something I had no factored in and I am starting to see that it does play a role in prices.

    Thanks for this, this was the fist time I had ever seen this model. Overall they look fairly pricey.

    Thanks. I will start looking around for other options, but this is certainly in my price range.
