So what don’t I get about this Suveran 30T2?

Biezmez · Dec 12, 2018

I was watching this auction on a Swedish site for a black dialed Omega Suveran with the 30T2 movement and I believe they came with a 2400 case. I know these were made especially for the Swedish market.

It sold for 19,625 Swedish kr(approx 1900€).

I’m aware that black dials don’t crop up as often, but isn’t €1900 a high price? That would get you a very nice constellation.

Is there more to a black Suveran than meets the eye?

I sold a couple of good ones to the Museum several years ago for a price not so much below this one, so I guess prices are catching up. The one above seems to be in excellent condition, which is rare, and seems to be a little brown too?

Crazy prize, no doubt. But craziness is all over the vintage watch theater at the moment, so why not these?

You weren't the only one to watch that auction in amazement...

Biezmez · Dec 12, 2018

I guess it ticks the boxes for originality and condition that’ll get you a long way in the market.

.......maybe someone also needed the perfect Christmas gift.

Sometimes we lust......Kyle for this Suveran, I lust for a Signal Corps, we all have a beauty we are reaching for!

Thank goodness we reach in different directions or they would all be priced like Speedmasters.

I love it, young man!

It looks really nice and original with a great colour on the lume. It would be interesting to see what it looks like with a new/ polished glass, I’m sure the dial will look amazing.
Enjoy.

I was on it too but got lost pretty quick after the bidding war started. It did get much higher than I expected but I’m pretty sure it will be standard price in just few years. Great watch anyway, and congrats @kyle L .

I happy i got my Suverän's years back when nobody cared about them and prices were low 😁

Checked my archives, got this Suverän in 2013 for 310$ 😀

Is that the result of a polish or a replaced crystal? If it's polished, about how long does it take to get this kind of result? It looks great.

@kyle L Amazing piece! Looks very nice! I definitely think the Suverän are still underrated today, and your price paid will soon reflect the market. Enjoy that beauty!

Very fine sandpaper and some polywatch. Maybe 10 minutes?

What do you call very fine? 1200 grit?

Tempus · Dec 22, 2018

I use 2000 grit wet and dry followed by polywatch for very badly scratched crystals.

I use the same or very similar to Tempus - 3M wetordry 213Q.

Great catch on a watch I never had on my focus before.
Huge congrats and wear in good health 👍

ANALOGUE · Dec 23, 2018

Congrats to an awesome watch!
However, I have to admit I am a bit sad. This watch have produced a lot of talk in Sweden and Suveräns suddenly jumped from 5ish kSEK to 10-20KSEK.

I have not yet got a Suverän and like 5ish better... 😉

Wonder what non-suverän omegas from the same era are worth now...?

Threads are more fun with pics... 😉
My non-suverän from the same era.

Honestly, I highly doubt it. They aren't really that rare on this side of the pond. I have owned four different Suveräns in good to excellent condition, and I have never even paid close to what the OP paid.

A very nice watch, nonetheless! 😀
