    Nevermind my neverminding.

    Perhaps you guys are right :)

    Here it is again.

    My question was: how much is this all original 26x26mm omega from 1911 approximately worth :)

    Unless I'm way off, I believe the diminutive size and vintage, as well as the metal, make this piece undesirable to most, thereby affecting the value. I wouldn't expect it to garner much interest in an auction. Maybe €200?
    The plating is wearing thin (and the base metal underneath is very unattractive). The size is very small by today's standards (and small by 50's-60's standards for that matter). And, as a watch built when it was, it lacks shock-resistance found in later wrist watches. It is essentially a small pocket watch adapted for wear on the wrist.
    Pay what you and the seller think is fair. But if you decide to sell it down the road, don't expect much interest or euros.
    Please note this is my opinion only, and I cannot speak for those who have an interest (and greater knowledge) in this type of watch. Stay tuned for (hopefully) more feedback!

    It might just be my personal opinion, but I think it is bad form to edit your post in the way you have to remove the original detail. By all means follow up to say "Nevermind" but to overwrite the original post means this is essentially useless to the wider community.
