How much is my Omega worth

[PAULJ5555]

Omega
Seamaster
Full size
Ceramic bezel
Black face
Oct 2012
Few surface scratches on metal braclet but would polish out
Box and paperwork

These are £2770 new

How much would a shop give and how much would it get on say ebay?

I'd probably (hypothetically) offer you £1k as a trade buyer (which i am). From there I'd need to service it, refurb it and then try to make something for myself bearing in ind i'd have 20% vat to pay on any profit.

Look at values of watches selling privately if you want to get a better idea of what you can get on ebay etc. Its only worth what someone is willing to pay im afraid. Omega don't hold their values like Rolex or Brietling despite the price from new.

I would not say Brietling held their money,rare vintage ones maybe.

There's one in TZ's Sales Corner for an asking of £1775, a good price for a purchaser IMO which is why I don't understand why it's still up for grabs after over 2 weeks

I agree that is a good price from a good seller, i thought it would have gone by now.

I saw a used version of this watch sell in a AD near me for 1.8K GBP, about six months ago, it did not hang around for long.

You will never end up selling one then if you are only going to offer 1k :-)

Also the new co-axel is 8 year service intervals and 3 year warranty, so why on earth would you need to service a 1 year old watch to sell it on ?

that offer sounds worse than a dodgy 2nd hand car dealer lol as the cheapest dealer watch I have seen for sale sold in 2 days at £2295 at watchfinder and the next cheapest is up for £2395 at watches.co.uk.
Still quite rare on the 2nd hand market and a fine piece.

I,ll buy a bucket load at 1k and jack in my job :-) and start trading in watches.

Think you will find that's sold.

You might find that watch is already sold.

This one? Doesn't mention anything about it being on hold or sold, even if it has gone the last price advertised was £1775

Thanks for your input.

So how much should a trader offer then? And how much should a trader sell it for? As a non-certified dealer I cannot charge the prices you see from the more well established outlets. £2k max in the window I reckon. Take the vat off the profit and youre left with a sensible gain and no more.

Ref the service. If it sells with a waranty from my shop then I need to make sure its 100% sound. It might not need anything more than new seals and pressure testing post case opening but at least it's been checked.

Thanks again for your advice.

Don't worry MrDemon is full of good advice, from his posts on TZ as well it would seem to me that he owns an omega and if its like his car posts on SELOC, once he owns something it is the best in the world and everything else is crap.

The haters will always hate.
Not sure why Seloc gets talked about, I left there due to the insults and have not been back.

I am looking to buy a new watch so not bias as I have not bought one yet.

But so far not been impressed with watch forums and as for dodgy trade values it seems worse than part exing a car so far.

I guess to fit it you just have to arse lick have no personal opinion and buy a Rolex.

So I'am out.

In all seriousness, all you had to do was be nice, like everyone else is. It's really not hard.

Love the ceramic bezel so much more than my non-ceramic!
