Omega watch buyers in Bedford?

[killingjoker]

I've got a vintage (circa '79) 18k gold Omega Constellation (works but now needs a battery and leather strap) and wonder if anyone can recommend a watch specialist in the Bedford area that may be interested in purchasing or reconditioning it. Not sure where to take it and any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks Marcel - nice V8 by the way.





It needs a battery, strap, and polish up, reseal, & general clean. It does work but has been sitting around killingjoker towers unloved. Am really looking to get it sorted and moved on in favour of an old Omega Seamaster 'divers' watch.

Its a hummer, so it needs to go to a tuning fork watch specialist. Certainly beyond the expected scope/ability of a high street jeweller.

Theres a good chance that it will need proper money spending on it too, and even then theres a limited demand. Id expect a hummer to sell for around £250 if it was fit and well.

If the case is solid gold and not gold-filled (possible) or plated (unlikely with a Constellation), then its worth will be in its scrap value, unfortunately. If the movement is good then this will also sell for parts.

Depending on your valuation of it based on the above I might be interested in buying it and taking a chance on it working.

PM me if interested.

Sold.

For a very nice sum. Much higher than any 'expert' offers on here.

Evening all.

Where in the end?

I suspect that you mean me, although I didnt make an offer. Perhaps you failed to grasp what Id written?

Was that really called for?

Definitely not. I saw plenty of people trying to offer useful advise - didn't deserve that sort of ahole remark at all.
