: Solid 18kt White Gold Omega Collectors Watch

: This is essentially the same advertisement I placed before with a
: couple of exceptions.
: 1) I neglected to give credit to Desmond. He was the one which came
: up with all of the helpful information
: within the advertisement, I have now put it in hyphens.
: 2)He recently suggested I include the weight of the watch, Duh. Of
: course I should have.
: The watch weighs 2.940 ounces of 18kt white gold. As one can see in
: the photos, there is not much watch.
: It was the thinnest watch made at the time at only 2mm or 3mm
: including the crystal.

: This part by Desmond, thank you.
: >”This watch is a calibre 540 handwind dress watch. Quite
: uncommon as only 8000
: > of these movements were made and used over a range of models.
: The movement
: > appears in good condition as there are no rust spots or
: corrosion that I can
: > see.
: >
: >
: > The case number is 3981 and the sixteen million serial number
: > indicates that the movement was produced in around 1958. There
: are also
: > watchmakers marks on the inner case back indicating service at
: some stage of
: > its life.
: >
: >
: > There is also OXG stamped on the movement which indicates that
: it was produced
: > for the US market. It is however a fully Swiss made watch,
: indicated by the
: > key stamp with a 1 inside the case which tells us that the
: case was made by
: > Ed. Wenger SA, a known supplier of precious metal cases to
: Omega, based in
: > Geneva. It was imported into US by Omega's North America agent
: Norman Morris
: > Corp.

: >
: > The bracelet is beautifully made and may have been attached to
: the watch
: > either at or after point of sale. If the watch has an Omega
: symbol on the
: > clasp and/or an Omega triangle stamp (and I cant quite see
: enough of the clasp
: > to tell) then its a factory bracelet. If not, then its more
: than likely an
: > addition.
: >
: >
: > Never-the-less it is a fine dress watch from the late 1950s
: with a good
: > quality movement.”

: > This is my comments:
: >I took this watch to Omega on Post Street here in San
: Francisco, the main Head quarters and had the watch examined.
: The watch needs servicing and cleaning along with a small repair on
: the movement itself. I was quoted $600.00 to do this work from
: Omega.
: They also gave me an estimated value of between $7000.00 to $10,000
: US.
: I am willing to sell this watch for $8,000.00 AS IS or if you would
: like it brought back to new condition by Omega I will process
: the work and then sell it for $8,800.00.
: I would require the $800.00 in advance and then give you a time
: frame from Omega on how long the work will take.
: Once the watch has been serviced, I will then send it to you asap
: in a secure, insured and certified method along with receipts
: from Omega on the work done.
: So, you have a choice of having me tend to the servicing or you
: could either have it done or do it yourself.
