Long storby short:
Bought this watch on ebay, it stopped running after 2mnths. Didnt find a cheap movement. 2y later i stumbled upon a NOS-like mvmt and had my watchmaker swap it. Like it but not in love.

1. Is it a correct piece?
2. Is it worth selling? (Is it worth anything?)
3. Being a seamaster, is it more collectible than a deville?

Assuming its gold plated since the steele caseback.

Edit: LOL!! my arms ARE NOT as hairy like it seems. Just a bad picture...

 

If I understood correctly it has a correct, but not the original movement?
Personally, I love these watches and have a few, but the tuning forks do have a limited appeal and the gold plated ones are even less popular. In any case, working examples still sell well on eBAY and I would estimate your watch would be sell in the 350$ range.

 

Pity that your watchmaker took the decision to replace the movement with a non original one . It would have been much better and easier to sell if the Omega 1250 movement would have been serviced . Like @Joe K. Says the goldpalated is not that collectible .But nice watches .

 

Thanks for the input.

Thing is, a service on the 1250 is very expensive, and it prob needs to be sent to bienne. Its not worth 1000$++
And without a service the watch is useless.

So my decision to buy a 1250 that looked brand new for 200$ inc. Shipping etc looked like the better option.

 

Still "original" cal.1250 omega mvmt

 

A 1250 movement or any other tuning fork movement you send to Paul at http://electric-watches.co.uk/ . He is the best . A service cost i think about or around $50 . Money well spent .
A funny thing just happen . As i looked at my watches in the bookshelf . One of my f300 has just stopped . This Monday the 23 . Hope it just need a new battery .

 

I second that. Paul is doing a great job. No need to send it to Bienne, as there are a number of specialists on these. If you kept the original movement, the parts can be swapped over.

I don't really understand why the tuning fork watches aren't more popular. The movement of the second hand is better than anything else. Considering they where made at the seventies, they are technological marvels and would be _very_ expensive to make today. Parts are easier to source that most vintage stuff so that's not an issue.
