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?

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.
