Trade value $950?
Just testing out the waters and curious to see what's out there. Lukewarm interest in trading my '68 Connie Chronometer. Bought this summer from Omega Addict. Keeping great time, but I kind of want a no date hand wound dress watch. Wouldn't mind keeping it either.
Haven't found many examples to compare, but the ones I have found are around $1250-1500 (plus one ridiculous example in Denmark for $3,000). So I think a trade value of $950ish is fair.
According to the watchmaker, everything is original except for the crown (which is still a factory Omega crown). Movement is Omega 564. 35mm case with 19mm lugs. No papers or original box. Keeping great time and quick date adjustment works. Comes with a black DeBeer lizard strap and a brown aftermarket strap with Omega buckle.
What I'm looking for: *Like for like condition, please - with some sort of box *Stainless steel/silver tones only - no two tones *Light colored dials only *No date - not a deal breaker *No Arabic numerals - I prefer indices but also not a deal breaker depending on style *Would be nice: manual wind / blue hands / hands that aren't obelesque (something dauphine, breguet, or feuille - just no sticks)
Kinda want a Hamilton or a Longines Cal 30. Maybe a simple Breitling or trade up for IWC.
Disclaimer! I had a REALLY bad experience with PayPal where I got SUPER hacked recently. For peace of mind, I finally got them to agree to close my account. I have feedback and references here. I do not mind signing up for Amazon pay or doing ACH if value of trade needs to be balanced (whether it's on your end or mine). All my transactions on here until this post have been through PayPal. Because of this (and because I still want a dress watch in the collection) I am not open to a direct sale at this point in time.
