I just sold mine for $6k. Msrp was over double. I love Omega watches, but they are absolutely horrific at holding value compared to Rolexes. That was mint condition with box and all paperwork, full kit.

Shame because I absolutely love the new moon watch and 007 edition nato one.

If you are going to be disappointed that a luxury watch loses value, don't buy new. And avoid paying MSRP for a watch.

Also, don't buy Rolex just because it will "hold" value. If you are buying watches based on future value, this isn't the hobby for you. You're going to end up not buying watches you like (new moon watch) and buying watches you don't like (ho hum Rolex). Just like any other purchase you make in your life, buy what you want/like and know that if you ever try to sell it you won't get anything near what you paid for it.

Beautiful, interesting watch, I really like it. That said I'd buy a Rolex over this any day of the week as the depreciation on Omegas is painful, quite the opposite on a Rolex. I own an Omega, a Breitling and multiple Tags so I know depreciation, lol. If you're shopping around this price range a white gold Datejust or Submariner for $14k is a far superior investment.

For those interested, if you qualify you can get 1% cash back through ID.me.

Links? Chrono24 and other websites have it new for $11k and up. Used are in the 10k range.
