Worth the $500 or not, considering the redial?

Sorry ,  Please do not post links to active auctions and sales on this site.   But lets talk about what is worth collecting....

Why not ask what type of bumper Seamasters would one collect ?

HI  barrioporteno


The bumper Seamasters are one of my favorites.  ......

The 354 is a fine regulated ( via Swan neck spring) made in standard regulation and Chronometer regulated examples.  I personally prefer a  352 caliber with has deluxe execution (highly finished movement ) and Omega system index regulator in chronometre grade only.

Anyone else ?


Good Hunting

It's a very nice movement, indeed.

   Ref 2520 Seamaster Chronometer cal 352.

     

Thanks for the reply Bill. I'm sorry about the link to the auction... didn't know I couldn't post such messages! Very new here...

My doubt, however, was not whether to own a 354 or not (you can never go wrong!)... but rather what price range I should have aimed at... But again, with such items it's not really how much they're worth but how much you want them! Am I wrong?

Thanks for the encouragement!

Cheers

for a non-chronometer seamaster cal. 354 with a stainless steel screwback case that is all original (non-refinished dial) is $200-400 depending on condition.  I would say a bit less if in gold cap (perhaps 10-15% lower) and quite a bit more if in 14k-18k gold (2-3x more).
