Hi guys!

New to the forums
I recently acquired a Vintage Omega Flightmaster Cal 911
It's a Sharp Watch coming in a 40+ years old, and a very unique one at that.

Its not in perfect shape, as the case would use a nice re-lapping
and the pushers and crowns have faded.
Does need a new crystal.
But the Calibre 911 Movement is in perfect shape
has recently been servied and keeps great time
Original Orange handset.

Original Omega Buckle not original band.

What could i sell this piece for in current condition?
Would love to sell on eBay or over Paypal
Any advice?

Thanks

 

What exactly do you need advice on? Check eBay completed listings to determine a ballpark price.

 

Just some feedback of condition for age from some experienced users if possible
I know suggested prices but condition factors are what i am most curious about
How does this one fair up to other vintage ones?
What would you sell the item for?

 

To be honest, unless it's been serviced by a reputable repair person, I'd be leery of the mechanical condition. I learned this the hard way.
Also, the handset looks newer than the dial to me.

 

The time keeping portion of the watch is excellent
the service was done in Austin by CW21 certified watchmaker
I purchased the watch pre-owned for $2000.00

Do you think I over-payed for the piece?

 

Not if you like it and plan to wear it. Very reasonable.

I would not touch the case.

Enjoy....only made for a few years so you are one of the few to have a nice one.

My original handset is also bright, so don't worry about that.

 

I'm a bit gun shy about the servicing since I had to send mine back 3x to a well known Omega repair shop. As far as the price, as TexOmega said, it seems reasonable if everything really works properly.

As far a selling it for a profit, try listing it on eBay and see what happens. Maybe, but probably not for much more.

 

Love that cal 910
Those are even more rare!

 

you will never see me post things for sale here
I am only trying to acquire knowledge on vintage pieces and pricing from a educated community.
knowledge is power!
I don't see how this could offend anyone, as its not like im trying to push anything.
Just here for the community and information to better help me make decisions in the future.

 

So you want us to help you out so you can profit from our experience? You're just another 'dealer' who comes here looking to milk us for our years of knowledge. Want to make vintage watches your profession? DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK AND RESEARCH....... or cut us in on the profits.

How often do we have to do this dance? What is this, the 3rd or 4th in the last few weeks?

 

Yeah it is getting old....quick

 

Introduce, and contribute to the community and then you will see members that go out of their way to help with these types of questions....it really is that simple.

 

I think you have the wrong idea
I am not trying to exploit you
I just thought your community was interesting and i wanted to be a part

excuse me for having a affiliation with my biggest hobby.

 

For the record we dont even sell watches like this
Only newer based stuff

The main purpose was to educate myself on a world i was too young to be apart of.

 

When you do your research you may find a lot of nicer FMs out there. Candidly, you may have paid too much, particularly if you are trying to flip it. JMHO.

 

Honesty. Whatever happened to honesty?

Man, what I would give to see a dealer's first post be something like.....

"Hi. I took this vintage ________ in on a trade and know very little about the brand. I'd like to sell it, but don't often play in the vintage game so I'd like to ask for some assistance." Then some pictures, and a few specific questions.

Wouldn't that be GREAT?????

 

Well,

I came for advice and got a witch hunt.

Sorry if i offended everyone
I came to a forum for advice imagine that.
I had good intentions.

If i am not welcomed I wont try to be a headache
I will Delete the account...

 

You are welcome but as ulackfocus says two posts above be honest, contribute to our forum and learn and you wont have to ask .
Way to many bursting through the doors with whats it worth
