    That's a fairly good price in current market. Provided that it's in decent condition.

    +1....condition is everything and you really can`t judge till you look closely. Price isn`t unreasonable provided all's well. Evidence of heavy refinishing with los of edges/definition, particularly around the bezel, is something to look for on these.

    Might have a look at this tomorrow, I`m passing through Leeds and I`d be interested to see how good it is.....and how well it's been refinished. Most of these watches have had a dose of refinishing at some time, really mint original ones are getting scarce. I don`t mind refinished watches provided they've been done properly, but if the case or bracelet has suffered deep dings it's impossible to get 'em like new again.

    That's a crazy low price considering they're 2500 on WF.

    WF selling prices are not a true representation on market value. Usually 10 to 20 % overpriced which are reduced on model specific negotiation

    This is true as they are definitely at the high end, but that's a 900 quid difference near enough.

    WF are just trying it on. I could have gotten a NOS from US for £2.3k incl taxes earlier this year. I know a guy who was offered £1.3k for a nearly new 2254.50 from WF last year. I'd say anything below 2k is fair price depending on condition, everything above is a rip off.

    Hi guys, this is my first post here. I've been following the market for this model for a couple of months now. They are in very very high demand. The last 2 ebay auctions finished up at £1600 and £1700 for a reasonable example with box and papers, although the latter was an old 2001 model. The best way to find out the true market value is a completed ebay auction. So id say Berry's price is very good considering it comes with a guarantee.

    Welcome aboard!

    I bought mine for £1750 with box and papers a couple of years ago so nice to know they hold their value very well. It has pride of place in my box along with the other pieces and I'm not surprised they're having the demand that they do.

    Here, OF and occasionally TWF. OF is good for specialist Omega stuff, TWF is good for a friendly natter and info on lower end stuff and here, well here can be a bit more edgy but there are some seriously clever and interesting people on here who give sound advice freely. And of course others who, umm well lets say just give their opinions freely but it is all grist to the mill!

    Great watches is my opinion, I have the quartz and it's great to just grab and wear without having to set the time. Maybe good ones are getting rarer I have a very good example I picked up from SC a few years ago and it won't be going anywhere but was sub 1k.

    If I get chance I'll have a look at these tomorrow.
