Hello fellow Omega enthusiasts,
I'm relatively new to the world of vintage watches, and currently in the process of scouring the internet for a specific watch. Now there's an interesting observation on watch prices I made and I'm interested in what you guys think about this.
So, there are countless threads on different watches, how to's, what to look out for etc. Now I noticed that there is a very big difference between what is said about watch worth/willing to pay and actual prices of listings and settled amounts of auctions on eBay, chrono24 and others. Currently, most watches are listed well over $1000 (even redials), and some over $2000. Now some threads are a bit older and might not apply to the current market situation. So I was wondering, has value significantly increased due to market development, increased demand or are stores/dealers trying to take advantage of general buyer ignorance.
There are some watches (like an all original black dial seamaster deville date) i'm interested but asking prices are well over $1500 and I can't ignore the many threads stating a value of more than half that price.
So, what do you guys think about this?
