Omega 2254.50 Pre-owned Value?

Hello,

I have a Omega 2254.50 which I'm considering selling. I bought the watch in 2002 and have lost the box and papers. I do have the extra links though.

The watch was serviced two-years ago. It has never really kept great time, it is currently losing 17 seconds a day.

Based on the attached pics, what do you think I could sell this for?

Crystal is scratch free
Bezel is pretty clean
No dings or dents
Scratches, swirls etc. abound
Second hand (red marker) is faded
Bracelet has usual stretch

Thanks, Guys.

Thanks for the tip. I've seen some trends and some baselines... but just wanted to get some opinions from Omega owners. I didn't know something like asking what something is worth restricted here.

I love that watch, always thought they are the perfect daily beater and travel watch and something you can wear for tough water usage without worrying.

Plus, the speedy style bracelet is much nicer IMHO that the newer SMP bracelet and many prefer the sword hands over the skeleton hands.

I think you could ask $2,000 and get about $1,750 for it, especially if you have the recent service receipt and have the watch regulated....

Thanks guys. She's a great piece and it'll be sad to see her go. But I'm okay with it and have had the piece long enough to enjoy it fully.

I hope I don't get into trouble for asking - but didn't see anything stating otherwise.

I put my watch up for sale on eBay. I wanted to also place an ad here, but it's restricted.

Outside of eBay, what other channels would one recommend? I don't like eBay fees and would rather avoid.

I also put my watch up for a higher than average price with Best Offer. Curious to see the interest.

On another front, I had the piece regulated today. My watch guy said it's +3.
