Now I am just missing the original Omega bracelet 😀

Think it is a 1098 but the 1125 would fit as well?

Cheers, Thomas

I think that looks like a good watch. The case is still pretty sharp and looks correct to me. Dial and hands also. The bezel should be dark blue but, in the last photo it appears to be black. If so, then that would probably be a service replacement and would hurt the value.

The movement looks okay but has/had rotor rub. Is it being sold as serviced and with a warranty? If so, roughly how much are they asking?

I know someone who has a rarer red (Bordeaux) one that is virtually NOS having never been worn. He is active on here and would probably sell but will ask a premium for the condition.

Cheers, Chris

Hello,

Thank you for the quick reply. The seller has informed me that the dial is 100% dark blue, he said he does not know the service history only that the watch is running fine. He has been accommodating with pictures in request.

$3200 is the asking price, which I believe is excessive, however a search has shown many around this price in similar condition.

Thanks again,

Chris

Hi Chris

The bezel should also be blue and that was what was concerning me. Try and get the last picture (with the black strap) in natural light so you are sure the bezel is blue. I'd add on a service to the cost - 2600 GBP sounds a lot to me without warranty/service. I don't really follow prices but, thought you might have found an obvious bargain, not true in this case. These seem to be on the increase and I just had a quick look at eBay and that seems to be the sort of price being asked.

Some pictures of mine in this thread, for comparison - and my bezel is definitely blue even if it can look black...

Let's hope someone else comments as well.

Best regards, Chris

If you have patience you will find one much cheaper. They do come up at auction from time to time on ebay. Prices are lower then...

He assured me that the bezel was blue and provided this photo.

Looks good but a bit expensive, I suppose.

Good luck!

Thanks for your advice Chris, it was very helpful.
I am going to make a reasonable offer and see where it takes me.

I have seen one or two with blue seconds hand. Are these original?
My guess would be the seconds hand belongs to a MK1 Omega Dynamic.

i have seen more than one with blue seconds hand listed for sale in recent months, however, but again not much else on the web or on this forum

Yes.

Or to this "relative", ref. 166.088:

Guys, I put in an offer ($1500 USD) for the 166.062 model and was accepted by the seller. Ya'll think it's a good bargain? Or am does it sound too good to be true? Considering the average price for this is going for $3k or more.

Obviously more than a single picture would help but if I needed to say with a gun to my head through a blurry poorly lit photo- yeah, it looks good.
Case looks heavily polished and there may be a crack at 30 on the bezel, but if you can live with those….
