Lots of overpriced ones - they are not worth, nor do they sell for the £4K plus that dealers ask.
1 - Good, correct, examples typically sell for between £2250 and £3250 (despite dealers, and optimistic folk asking much more).
2 - OK examples typically sell for between £1200 and £1800 (and some of us have got lucky and picked up really nice watches in this price bracket too).
3 - Rough/Parts watches rarely seem to come up for sale - I grabbed one last month for £500. It’s going to cost a small fortune to fix.
For some further context/information around point 3:
a) - A full service from an Omega Authorised Service Centre here in the UK (Swiss Time Services who I have used in the past for two flightmaster services), runs to +/-£500 - this includes a full new set of crowns and pushers, and a new crystal.
b) adding in cosmetic parts takes this to nearly £1400
Tread carefully - don’t go north of £3250.
