Hi everybody,

Me again looking for a nice omega and your great advices!

This is a 34mm without crown, omega cal 355, 17 jewels, réf 14350716

The seller tells that most of parts are original, what are your advice?

Many thanks!

 

What do you think?

Did he actually say most parts are original? Which parts aren't then?

 

The movement is correct: https://www.omegawatches.com/planet-omega/heritage/vintage-details/15519/
The serial number is from 1954, which is also correct: http://www.chronomaddox.com/omega_serial_numbers.html

 

I don't know, I asked for it and I'm waiting for the answer.

 

I think it looks very good.

The reference isn't the 14.... you mentioned, but 2757 and I'd say that everything looks good. I can't really evaluate the dial too well because of the photo quality, but the patina makes me believe that it is the right one. The script on the rear looks crisp, the crown is original and the case looks very decent.

How much is the price?

 

Manh thanks conelpueblo!
980usd, you think it's right?

 

Sorry I replied down here

 

$980 is quite expensive for one of these.

 

Ok, what price would be great in your opinion?

 

The seamaster font looks weird to me. I'm actually leaning towards old redial perhaps. But yeah, it's hard to say as quality isn't good enough.

 

Well I know it's hard to give an advice on this watch regarding to the production 's year but I appreciate it

 

It's difficult to say anything about prices on vintage pieces, as everyone of them has to be evaluated by itself. With what I can see from those pictures, I'd say that it would probably sell for around $650-700 in an open auction.

Remember that these are by no means rare - few vintage pieces really are. There will almost invariably come another up for sale sooner or later.

What attracts you to this particular model?

 

I was thinking around $600 as well - but no prize for seconds

 

I like this watch. Nice original dial, case in good shape. Comes with an Omega buckle, though not sure it's original to the watch. Keep in mind you'll have to factor in a service as the movement looks like it hasn't been touched in some time so add $150-250USD to the aforementioned figures. Good luck if you pursue a purchase.

 

Mine says hi! Funny how your sense of what something might be worth, changes when you own one!

 

Yours is much, much nicer..! Textured dial and different case - and I am a sucker for crosshairs

I did a search on "Seamaster Calendar" on eBay to make sure I wasn't pulling the estimates out of my ass and I noted a couple of "your" Calendar models, which had gone for surprisingly little. One of the was missing a seconds hand, though... And the crystal!

 

I understand yes, the attraction is made by the atmosphere of the watch, really simple, just beautiful

Thanks for your advice as well

 

You're right and I have to consider all of it, thanks!

 

That's a response at why I like this watch [emoji4]

 

So am I the only one who thinks it might be a redial? Haha. I guess I'm too picky?
