Did anyone else see the Omega rarity on the Antiques Roadshow last night?

About £40K was the estimated value.

Good old Delwyn has an Omega Pre Moon Ed White Speedmaster, he tells me. Typical of him, 20+ years ago he removed the original bracelet strap as it caught on his cuffs, stuck it in a drawer and has never seen it since. One good thing is he never throws anything away, so it's there somewhere...

I am seriously considering selling my Bremont ALT1-C that I have had for many years and wondered where would be best to do so other than the likes of eBay. I have the box papers etc.

Don't worry Jason, it's not the Bremont you found for me nearly 9 years ago!
Try these

Watch Recon
Thanks Neil.
Think I'll just stick it on eBay when I found the box etc and put it on here as well.

watchfinder will make you an offer .. but probabally kick you in the nuts
chrono24

I've only ever sold via watch forums but they tend to need a minimum post count before you can access the for sale section

His original bracelet is probably worth more than my Speedmaster :(

Watches, that reminded me....

What I'm I going to pay for an average Omega Speedmaster, and what's the difference between a Speedmaster and a Moonwatch?

thanks, Mike
cheers, Mike.
