Whats a good trade in same value for a 2019 Seamaster?

Are the 2531 counterfeit a lot, polished a lot, etc? Is it a hard watch to find in good condition, in other words? I see some for sale with 2007 dates, and aged looking lume, while also 1999 models with normal lume, just discolored hands (red to pink), etc. I gotta say the aged lume looks wonderful to me on Blue, but I am not sure if Im looking at relumed watches made look like vintage and trying to get higher price.

2541 quartz, is that the one Prince William wears by any chance (Diana gift)? Or his was the "reduced" 37mm version?

William has a 36 mm as I recall. 2541 is the Goldeneye one. The first Omega Bond. 41 mm, same as the 2531 watch, just quartz. As nobody wants some, low prices. I have 2. Soon 3 😀

Plenty of 2531 every where. You will find everything. All I can tell you is the way I see things. Some might disagree.
- 30 years old watches can't be in good condition without being a bit polished. The question is : done well or not. We are not talking about Rolex 6538.
- If the bezel looks new, it is new. 300 euro during an Omega service. Not a bad thing at all.
- Always a photo of the movement (unless well known Pro sellers that can guaranty authenticity). It takes 2 minutes to every body to open a 2531/41. Hard to fake the movement.
- The old tritium ones (before 1997) are an other thing, learn about them first (or ask me 😀 ).
- Better a good 2541 than a bad 2531.
- Don't over pay a medium one. I follow a lots of Diver on C24. Medium shape no box/papers hardly sales. Buy a ruin and go service it or a good one.

A well known Pro sellers will have higher prices but mostly free minded about fakes.
