I have been approached with an offer: An even trade of a "CB" marked 321 66' Speedy Pro (which I just acquired and haven't taken my own pictures of): for an Omega dead seconds clock: What do you think? Who's winning here? If the 321 is correct, I think I'd be losing here - but those Omega clocks....
I´d be looking to pay 1300/1800 Euro for the clock max, although most sellers are of course asking a lot more.
The clock is nice but it would look wrong on your wrist. Why not sell the Speedy and make him a cash offer? Better still, keep the Speedy and put a photo of your parents/kids on the table.
Someone made a real bargain then on one of those Omega table chronometres with dead second. This one sold on auction in Sweden a couple of days ago. http://auctionet.com/sv/149428-bordsur-omega-de-luxe-chronometer-1900-talets-forsta-halft The buyer may have done a bargain, but not so great so he can make a straight trade against a Speedy 321 (even with later dial and hands). Or?
8000 SEK works out at 877 Euro and the condition of that one is really not so nice, it looks to have enamel that is peeling and the case is also in rough shape. I wouldn´t have paid that for it. The op´s example is a much more attractive version and also looks to be in excellent condition too, but still, not worth the trade IMO
I agree with you guys. He's being very stubborn about the value of the clock. Still would love to own it.
He says it's worth 4k. I never believed that for a second - but he's only accepting somewhat equivalent trades.
Considering the return policy I was offered, I thought I'd buy first and ask questions later. What are the tip off signs? Also, with the wrong dial, is it totally untouchable for collectors? Is its worth just the parts?
The short plots are the tip-off... a later service dial. I believe the hands are replacements as well. Still has value greater than just the parts - the correct dial/hands can be found eventually, if you so desire.
The hands are also not Speedmaster Pro hands, all Speedy Pro stick hands have lume reaching all the way to the center, not stopping early like those.
