Hello everyone, I've got this 1940 Omega bullseye tuxedo which I'm looking to sell. The watch is in all original condition except for the crown and the buckle. It was recently serviced and it’s keeping good time. I want to know how much do you think it's worth as to ask a fair price for it. I’ve looked for the reference number, but I haven’t been able to find one, nor similar watches for sale. I bought it a while ago, and even though I do certainly love the dial, I must confess that the 31 mm case size was a bit too small for me. As a side note, I’m very much aware about the 200 post rule as to post a watch for sale, that’s why I’m only asking for advice regarding fair pricing. Thank you very much for all your help!! 😉

I wouldn't expect too much for this watch because of the small size, the unattractive dial, the polished case, and the non-original crown. It's not a watch that will interest most collectors. An auction on eBay would be an easy way to unload it.

First of all, thank you very much for your answer. In what ballpark do you think it could go for? Less than 500?

Yes, certainly it would be less than 500 USD/Euro/GBP. Probably less than half of that, TBH.

Movt about $100USD
Hands $50USD if authentic
$75-100 Case
$50 more if you catch a sleepy newbie at 1am.

I'd sure like to know where to find 75 to 100 buck cases. Even 50 bucks for a case does not seem to be the case at the moment.

So many movements and so few cases. Another movement expected some time today.

this case fitting a 31mm movt is not going to have many persons fighting it out in an auction. If any. But it just takes 2
