Omega is one of the top tiers of well known, fine Swiss timepiece manufacturers. The craftsmanship, style, collectability and world-wide recognition lend well to its resell value. Like any other luxury item, a significant portion of the price of a fine Swiss timepiece when originally purchased is time, labor, designer premium and retail mark-up. Although you will not receive back what you paid for the Omega, you can still retain more of its value than other watch brands.

Once a fine Swiss timepiece is purchased from a dealer, it is pre-owned. Much like a new car, once it is driven off the lot, it is used. You may have only worn it/driven it once. Fortunately, there is a large market for pre-owned Omega watches. Many end consumers want to purchase a pre-owned Omega in order to have a quality watch without paying the retail premium. When a client wants to purchase a pre-owned timepiece, such as an Omega, they expect a large discount off the retail price.

Keeping the box and paperwork on your Omega watch increases the value pre-owned.

How Much Will I Get For My Omega?

Our buy prices are solely dictated by the market’s demand and current trends in pre-owned Omega prices. When we purchase a pre-owned watch, we have to complete the below steps in order to successfully resell the watch to an end consumer. These steps can become time consuming for an individual who does not have the infrastructure to do so themselves.

  • Clean and service the timepiece, providing the next owner with the peace of mind of a 1 year warranty on a pre-owned watch
  • Refinish the watch to like-new condition
  • Supply any new parts, new band or links that may be missing or damaged
  • Prove the watch’s authenticity to the end consumer with either the original box and papers or having a certified watchmaker authenticate the movement
  • Take professional photographs of the watch for online listing
  • Online sales staff to provide thorough and lengthy listings of items online
  • Answer endless online questions from potential buyers
  • Ship and insure the watch to the buyer, which alone can add up to a couple hundred dollars

As you can see, selling a pre-owned watch successfully can prove to be more time consuming than it may appear.

Light wear and tear is normal for a pre-owned Omega. In order to re-sell it, we must pay a watchmaker to refinish it to like new condition.
