Good evening fellow members.

I’m in the market for a dive watch and had previously entertained the idea of a Seamaster 2254 but then dismissed that. I’m currently considering a Tudor Black Bay Fifty Eight.

However, here’s what I’d like your valuable knowledge and experience on to guide me as to a reasonable price to pay for a Seamaster 300 233.30.41.21.01.001.

The non AD watch dealer says the watch (which is not in his possession) is new/unworn and his asking price is €4,500 including delivery but he’s also open to suggestion on that.

I know that this model sold for about €5,000 new so would any of you think this particular one could be bought for €3,500?

I can link to the sale item if it helps and I appreciate your time and attention in reading this post.

Regards,

Fergal

The internet is amazing. It's full of various resources ("websites"). Many of them are purveyors of goods to the public. A tiny subset consists of dealers of jewelry, watches, and other luxury goods. There are also sites where individuals sell their wares, like eBay for example.

I bet if you took some time, just a few minutes, you could generate a list of 233.30.41.21.01.001 reference Omega watches being offered for sale and determine a high, a low, a mode, a mean, and the standard deviation. That would give you quite a bit of data that might inform your target price for the piece.

By the way, the "new" price on this model is €6,000.

Feeling generous:
Sample size: 100 listings
High: €6,058
Low: €3,329
Mean: €4,612
Median: €4,739
Mode: €4,362
Standard Deviation: 629.53

I'd wager that €3,500 will be a hard bargain unless the piece is particularly dinged up. The seller is extremely likely to have more than that in it if the data is a good indicator of the market. The mean, median, and mode are fairly clustered and your target is nearly two full standard deviations from the mean.
