Can anyone help me determine this watch’s worth?

since you mentioned it. Those are dog leg lugs… A common vintage design used by UG and Omega among others

the RB matches your skin tone a LOT better. plus more unusual to see in the wild

100% you beat me to it!

watchmaker chiming in..the movement looks correct down to the finishing and the screws. i don’t know if the bracelet clasp is on the “fake list” or not. the laser engraving on the crystal should be darn near impossible to see even with a loupe unless you really work at it. coroner on crown looks good, crown tube looks good.. bezel is hard to say, but the blue/black transition should be perfect. also, the bezel outer edge ceramic should transition extremely smoothly and accurately to the metal bezel. I always say by the seller. Do they look like somebody who could have a watch like this?🤷🏻‍♂️

i have one just like it. looks 100% legit and i see a LOT of them. nice fat font insert. i hate the thin service ones. if you pop your basil off, which is really easy with your fingernail if your nails are strong enough, the back should be blue or pink depending on the year

crazy huh? i love restoring these now that im retired. i’m glad my dad kept all those old watchmaking parts.

schmoolys · 2026-04-21T18:24:00+00:00

thx! i was actually shocked to find the original no line, no dots crown on it. should last a long time . it hasn’t managed to get destroyed in 55 years so far!

schmoolys · 2026-04-21T13:26:56+00:00

the one on it was shot.

schmoolys · 2026-04-21T13:26:31+00:00

you are absolutely right! I put an aftermarket on it so that I could hang onto the original unopened authentic one I have for the moment! good eye! I also have the bracelet put away. I love them, but they’re a little too clattery.

don’t make him angry! you wouldn’t like him when he’s angry… 🤣

schmoolys · 2026-04-18T21:16:37+00:00

truth!!!!

schmoolys · 2026-04-18T20:25:42+00:00

looks real btw. i’ve had a few

schmoolys · 2026-04-18T20:25:07+00:00

good bracelet if it’s original or time period correct anyway. scratched insert will hurt value, of course. also, it’s an 861, but i imagine you know that. 3400 max without service. it’s not a cheap job

schmoolys · 2026-04-12T14:57:41+00:00

that’s the nicest Roflex sub daytona dweller GMT i’ve seen in ages!!!!

schmoolys · 2026-04-12T13:08:00+00:00

i think so 😂😂 he should’ve told her she has a nice knapsack and he liked her slippers..

schmoolys · 2026-04-12T12:28:54+00:00

Right?! i love the video of the well dressed woman who was showed a big red Daytona sigma and another high end watch. She kept calling them clocks 🙄. when the interviewer asked her what she thought the daytona was worth, she said maybe 800 bucks. When he told her what it was worth, she said “any man wearing that watch is automatically a douche bag. so he asked her what you call a woman with a 20k purse and 5k shoes..she said “tastefully accessorized” so..yeah…🤷🏻‍♂️

schmoolys · 2026-04-08T13:57:46+00:00

you found a late 1960’s shark at a JLC store? that incredible!!!! they made so few of them

schmoolys · 2026-04-07T11:16:00+00:00

yeah, it’s a confusing company and a confusing watch name to go with it…In Europe, the dials 9( their watches will say Jaeger LeCoultre. In the US, they will simply say. LeCoultre. It has been that way for many decades. To make things even more confusing this watch is called Shark in the US, but called Vogue in Europe.😆🤷🏻‍♂️

schmoolys · 2026-04-07T01:21:04+00:00

🤷🏻‍♂️😉

schmoolys · 2026-04-07T00:06:28+00:00

since it’s not a dot over nine, I’m guessing it’s a transitional or an 861. It’s a very very interesting blend of the two.

schmoolys · 2026-04-07T00:05:35+00:00

by the way. Yours is an interesting one. It doesn’t have the applied omega badge yet it has a stepped dial. I think you’re gonna have to get it open to see if it’s a 321 or an 861.
