@Strope Once you have the watch’s serial number, I’d recommend you obtain an Extract of Archives from Omega museum which likely would add significantly to the value if it checks out.

 

here are some direct emails for Phillips and Christies in Geneva ; makes it easier to get to the right people . refer in both emails, that it is a recommendation from J. Kretzschmar from Australia ; normally they do not like to have their emails out there: Virginie Liatard-Roessli <[email protected]> and Kegel, Sabine <[email protected]> . good luck ! kind regards. Achim

 

Good advice!

 

there is the reference in that number; 2915...... NO 32 could be the last 2 digits of the movement number...... kind regards. achim

 

@Strope, I am not affiliated with him, but Eric Wind is a straight up guy and has a very solid reputation in the business. I would also advise you to talk to him to get an idea of what your options are: https://www.windvintage.com/watches

 

Eric will not achieve the maximum price possible , i guess. Eric is really good to talk to ; but they all dream about getting the money , these big 2 auction houses get..... kind regards. achim

 

@Strope happy to be helpful in directing you to the appropriate place to sell it at auction otherwise I would be happy to purchase it directly from you north of $100,000 pending inspection. Based on the dial (lower OMEGA and oval O) and the non-painted bezel, I would bet it is a 2915-2. I will send you a direct message. Best regards, Eric Wind

 

@Strope happy to be helpful in directing you to the appropriate place to sell. otherwise I would be happy to purchase it directly from you. My wife and kids are willing to move and needless to say, they have exceptional character. I just bought a dog and you will receive it for free (after exchange of course). I will send you a direct message. Best regards, shabbaz

 

best is go for auction as suggested. or just keep it if you have no intention of letting it go.

 

@Strope happy to be helpful in directing you to the appropriate place to sell. otherwise I would be happy to purchase it directly from you. I have no wife or child, having already parted with both for a number of camels to a Hasidic gentleman and his brother, eating shrimp at Chez Paul. However, as I wear my watch on my left wrist, I hae a perfectly servicable right arm to give along with a few organs which nature has been good enough to double up on. I'm sure that, with a little disregard to local laws, an accomodation can be reached. Best regards, JimmyD

 

It all depends on the dog.

 

Surely this is worth north of 100k....

 

Congrats! It's the real one!

 

Definately! It's a tempting offer!

 

Haha. Thnx! Anyway, good luck with your watch! Hope it will give you some new dimensions in life! Enjoy!

 

What a great story, waiting for more informations

Keep us up to date !

 

I am afraid it's going to be difficult to get an extract for these old ladies... if anyone got lucky enough to have one for a 2915 I am interested in knowing if there are different tricks than luck or being a big auction house

 

Wow... what a find

 

Just caught up reading the entire thread... what an amazing story!

Congrats Strope on discovering this gem of a watch

 

Priceless.
