• Cheers thats really helpful.

    Apparently Omega 1 (the 1940s) was services 3 weeks ago. The sellers given good comms, but I'm not sure how much he knows. Although I love it, I'm not sure it's quite on point for my other half.... Plus the more I think about it, the more I want a known and common calibre.

    Is it just the that Omega 2 is a ubiquitous example and has a rough crystal? What would be a realistic price? £200-250?

  • Omega 2 is just pretty ordinary looking, but it does have a great movement and the overall condition is good. Crystal will be like new after polishing. I, not sure how I'd value that. £250 tops if it is indeed serviced? In my general opinion, if something is a buy-it -now amen it doesn't sell quickly, then it's probably above market price.

    I'll have a look for anything I have in the house that may fit the bill, but I'm away to Edinburgh for the weekend, so may have to wait. I have a feeling that most of the watches I have are manual wind.

  • Cheers. Thats much appreciated.

    @drøn - wear it with a 3 peice and a jaunty air.

    Seriously though, I have a similar thing - a pocket watch I love to look at that was gifted by a close family friend who has now sadly passed away.

    At some point I do plan on wearing it with a 3 peice (when I buy one that is). But I'm still trying to source a chain / strap that is subtle enough not to stand out like David Dickinson.
