Just back in 2007 you could get an omega for that price. My family bought a date just for around £1500:and they said rolex was on sale back in those days
Considering he bought it in 1973, exactly 50 years ago, no chance he's keeping it. Since he kept it in prestine condition, he'd probably want to give it to someone who'd take care of it the same way that he did. If he passed it on as an heirloom, family might've just pawned it. Pawnshop then sells it to an average joe. Not a good legacy for the watch.
That's about a grand in today's money, maybe a little more. You can't even buy a Swiss mechanical chronograph for that today, let alone an omega, let alone a gold case.
I have a speedmaster mk40 that was gifted by Michael to one of his mechanics. Bet you would appreciate that piece Nico, especially as you're driving a Ferrari.
This is me, I like to not throw away all of the things and when I pass it down or look back on it I still and would be proud that I had the original box and booklet
The prices on Pride and Pinion are absurdly high. I suggest you all get with the times. For instance, you all are asking about $120,000 for a Rolex Day Date reference 228239 while this same watch is $66,900 new on Crono24. C'mon man
This man managed to keep everything like the box, original pushers, all the passers and receipts but somehow today people can’t manage to keep atleast the box and papers with a new Rolex
Original box with watch inside sealed in plastic, never opened, never worn. Only problem is you can never open it to see if the watch is really inside....Priceless.
I don’t understand the fascination with most of these really pricy watches. Most of them literally look like something you’d buy at a gas station but cost 10s of thousands. I will concede Jacob and co watches are really cool though.

In Germany in the 1980s I'd go to the American PX shops and they'd have Rolex and Omegas on sale for peanuts. I literally KICK myself now as I didn't indulge at the time.
My father has passed away and he had an Omega seamaster 200m Banana, it was completely worn out. i have let it resored but the bezel is broken, do you know maybe where to get one?
I just love when shorts ask a question they don't answer.
There’s no question mark, so I guess it’s just a weird statement lol
it's intentional but i'm sure you know that
How much was the watch sold for or how much is it worth?
Well, when someone asks a question, they don’t typically answer it too..💀💀💀
so many pointless shorts
My wife calls me weird because I keep “full sets” to everything I buy.
Time for divorce my man 😂😂😂
Idk if u keep the wrapper to every candy bar then maybe she has a point
@@aryanmn209 hahahaha😂
@@AhmedW-sy9ti well I don’t think he meant that😂😂 but I feel u
Still keep the boxes of vintage Legos
$ 7,250
Man, that feels really cheap for this
@@demirhanakdemir8883that is cheap
I would have paid $10k
My father paid $700 for a 1803 day date in 1971, he still has the receipt and full box, papers, books etc.
Adjusted for inflation that would be $1240 in today’s money. Good luck getting an Omega for that now.
In gold?? Double take.

Omega doubled down on the James Bond advertising and took the cost out on the customers
Eh seen speedmasters for 1500-2000 so it's possible preworn
gas was 30 cents
Beautiful watch. Kinda sad that the original owner sold it.
He probably passed away and his family sold it

@@DibIrkenguy who bought it in 1973 was an average Joe.
@@jamesb8035that’s even worse 😧
I’m checking out Pride and Pinion watches now, Nico, you have inspired me and educated me on watches and I am grateful for that!
I'm gay

You can buy a really classy Tissot chrono for quite a bit less than that
Just bought a Quartz Omega Sea Master for 900,
I've seen the non moon speedmasters going for 1500-2000 on eBay. Which isn't bad for an omega auto chronograph
Thank you @NicoLeonard for landing this sale for me! I am sure the new owner will enjoy it a lot! What a piece!
I bought my 861 Speedmaster for $190 in 1971. I didn't keep the box or papers but still have the watch.
You should check out davidoff brothers and me speedmaster 101. Many vintages go very high now
I have a speedmaster mk40 that was gifted by Michael to one of his mechanics. Bet you would appreciate that piece Nico, especially as you're driving a Ferrari.
I love how his nose hairs blend with his mustache. I wonder if it adds flavor to food or a kiss, or if he will ever braid it.
I love when shorts mention my state of Oklahoma. Idk why, just feels like a somewhat rare find.
Smart man, even kept the original parts
It’s like clicking on a tutorial
Just to be shown the finished product
Shoutout Oklahoma baby!!! Love it!
$1300 in today’s money. Shows how much these brands with history can mark up their products.
I'm kind of sad the watch wasn't passed down to someone special in his family. The sad thing is that many family members don't care about watches.
I love those “simple” style of watches.
"Kept everything pristine".
Box looks like it's been drop kicked.
Kept everything pristine. Except the box and the book.
This is me, I like to not throw away all of the things and when I pass it down or look back on it I still and would be proud that I had the original box and booklet
We have different definitions of the word "pristine"
Awesome find tho

Allow me to type for you the start of the song of my people: OOOOOOOOOOO-KLAHOMA!
As an okie I’ll do the next line
“Where the wind comes sweepin down the plains”
I didn't think Nico had any regards for Omega.
Has always been in the would buy class.
Nico cares about history and status of the watch just as much, if not more, than the looks of said watch
"he kept everything pristine"
box looks like he chewed it for 40 years straight
They sold it for 16 bucks, a twinky and an apple. You're welcome.
wait fr?
Nice to see you excited about an Omega for once 😂
Original box with watch inside sealed in plastic, never opened, never worn. Only problem is you can never open it to see if the watch is really inside....Priceless.
What did you sell it for?
My guess 3,000
This is the first short of nico that i’ve watched that he hasn’t sweared 💀
Talking about vintage: I’m currently wearing my grandfather’s 1937 vintage Omega.
He should give one to everyone in OKC🤣 a man can dream
How to beat inflation, he paid 185$ in 1973, now it would be around 1200$. What.
That's about $1,200.00 today. Youre welcome

This just exemplifies corporate greed.
$185 in 1973? [Checks inflation calculator]
Man, I wish I could buy a gold Omega chronograph for $1300 lol
“and that’s how I afford the monthly payments on my Ferrari”……
The best part is when he says the price
Box looks like it was kept in a glovebox of the family car
Considering it's 50 years old, it's in pretty reasonable shape.
Great sale. I have to check with Maksud, and CRM. Thank You. Patch Brennan
Cool story. How about some close ups of the watch.
I hope you didn't pay too much for it. Having been in Oklahoma means its value has been cut at least by half.
I kid, I'm sure OK is a lovely place to fly over lol

OKC and Tulsa aren’t bad. 😂 the rest, pretty shite.
Its a watch, man the way hes talking you'd think he was speaking about an orphan
So why don’t you tell us what you sold it for?? That’s why we listen to you and follow you
Same i wanna know 185$ in 1973 how much in 2023???
Lol nico punched the man’s throat
That’s my my ideal watch
This accent is fucking me up is it like half Northern Irish/Dutch 🤣
Ice Spice
Comment was a violation
Finally 😂 some #profit beside eating USA 🇺🇸 burgers 🍔
You have to love omega
Very cool snip
That has been my grail for some time
In Germany in the 1980s I'd go to the American PX shops and they'd have Rolex and Omegas on sale for peanuts. I literally KICK myself now as I didn't indulge at the time.
I have a sneaking suspicion that you managed to sell it for a little more than $185...? 😂
If that Dr sold it to Nico for $185, 😮😂
No going to tell us the price then !
Who says Nico is all about Rolex😂
It looks like the pushers are on the short as well…
I want that same watch!
Just show's how crazy the price's are how much in today's money is 175 dollars?
$1200ish lol
And we blame inflation for the economy..
Pristine!? Damn...
So how are the watches you say are in good condition!?
Omega is cooler now than rolex.
Omega is what rolex was 15yrs ago... just a cool watch. Not loud
Doctors take good care of their valuables
With inflation
$5000
My father has passed away and he had an Omega seamaster 200m Banana, it was completely worn out. i have let it resored but the bezel is broken, do you know maybe where to get one?
we just sold it for 10 grand
Put some after market bling on that watch ⌚ lol
We just ripped some guy off for $10k is what he’s saying
185 bucks omg, at that time, houses costs 800 bucks 🤣
That's a beautiful watch
I want to know how many x's more it was sold for. Or, you know, just how much they sold it for.
It’s now worth 6$. Have a nice day.
I have a omega didn’t know it was a good brand
I asked you to buy my Rolex…. you said no. Now I’ll unsubscribe lol
That’s about $1,273 in 2023 so for a watch that’ll have been a lot to pay in 1973
180 dollar ☠ now x50
It's strange , when Nico is selling a watch it's incredible ! But in the tier list videos, he doesn't have a good word for Omega. Go figure.
Probably has something more to do with the fact it's vintage.
In fact, he got 3.
How much did u sell it for silly goose?
$1,292.02 in Jan. 2024 equals $186 of buying power in 1973 (Average).
Would be nice if we could see the watch instead of everything else.
Can I buy this incredible time piece ?
And you sold it for what? 4k ? Oh maybe 10?
was it purchased from B.C. Clark?
What’s your opinion on Shinola watches? Does anyone in the comments know? Just curious
$7,000 watch there gents
More videos like this!
How much did you sell it for
Okc 405 represent!!!
I have a Edox Geoscope 42 , it's 1960s/70s . . . I need to get it valued.
Hey shout out from Oklahoma!
I’m guessing it was sold for $200?
Profit 💰💰💰
