How much is this worth?

[chris123321]

Sorry if this isn't the right place to do it or there is a thread dedicated to getting watches valued but I can't find it,

Just wondering really how much my watch is worth, it currently sits in a cupboard and does nothing as I tend to be quite clumsy and am worried about damaging it.
Its this watch here: http://www.omegapassion.com/omega35thapollo11.html (dont have a current photo as its kept in a house down south) but it has been used, the bracelet has marks of wear and the face has 2-3 scratches in it sadly, how much could I get for it on the likes of ebay etc?


Thanks very much,

Chris


eta: It also has the box, booklet etc (comes with a very chunky book) and the certificates, well actually 2 certificates as the one they originally gave me had the wrong serial number and so omega sent me another.

I sold one of these a couple of years ago,I got £2750 for it on eBay.they seem to command a higher price than your average speedmaster due to the limited number produced.dealers have them as high as 5k.wish I'd kept mine.

Really? its got a fairly hefty scratch on the face so might look at getting that replaced and the strap scratches sorted if it means it'll fetch a higher price.

Can't find one for sale anywhere else at all,

There was a thread on this subject a few days ago on TZ-UK. The general consensus seemed to be about £2,800.

:O better chuck that on ebay then seeing as it seems to be quite rare, is it worth getting the glass replaced etc?

[crispian22]

there acylite crystal,a form of hard plastic so you could try polishing them out.failing that,i'd probably get it replaced and the whole watch given a good polish at a dealers if you want top money for it.

Probably, but have a go at polishing it with some toothpaste first.....or Polywatch if you want to use the proper stuff ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/Polywatch-Acrylic-Watch-Gl... ). You'd be amazed at what can be removed from acrylic crystal.

Seems like the stuff I want, I'll give it a blast with that and then put it on ebay for £2500 with offers.

Cheers guys.
