Quick answer: How reference, configuration, condition, originality and service history affect an Omega assessment.
“Pre-owned Omega” covers a broad range. Speedmaster, Seamaster, Constellation and De Ville include many references and configurations. A reasoned review requires the correct reference, condition, accessories and service history.
Five principal factors
- Collection, reference and production period.
- Size, metal, dial, bezel and bracelet.
- Condition of case, crystal, crown, clasp and movement.
- Originality, replacement parts and polishing.
- Box, card, receipts and service documents.
Information to send
- Straight, well-lit dial photo.
- Caseback, case sides, crown and lugs.
- Reference if known; do not publish the full serial.
- Bracelet, clasp, spare links and accessories.
- Service and replacement-part history.
Can a watch without box and papers be reviewed?
Yes. Missing accessories may still affect the proposal. Never assemble an unrelated set.
FAQ
Can a non-running watch be assessed?
An initial review is possible, but the cause and repair cost must be checked.
Should I service it before selling?
Ask first; service cost does not always translate into an equal increase in resale value.
