Wouldn't believe that for a second. The idea that 218,995 watches have been destroyed, not realistic at all.

Wouldn't matter if it was the last one, it's not going to win any beauty awards and quartz to boot.

i think we've had at least three pop up on the website as inherited watches just in the last twelve months. That salesman is an arse.

so what could i sell this piece for gentlemen?
As has been implied above, it's not particularly desirable. I'd check for completed listings on eBay for the same or similar watches to gauge the market.

this exact watch i can guarantee you that you will not find it anywhere online.that is why the salesmen said what he said.
it is very unique.

it is 10k gold filled, which is another factor that makes it very rare most omegas were 14k or 18k,
the older ones were 10k

I'm glad I read this earlier, before the OP deleted the story.

well if you read closely there where 219,00 pieces made of seamaster, constellation, and deville. so you take 219,00 and divid that by 3, you get
7,300.

after 35 years 7,300 you divide that by 3.5 (thats the number he told me)
1 for each decade.
i honostly dont remember exatctly now im puzzled myself. lol

You dropped a zero in your math.
The wall you will hit is simply the style of the watch. Not desirable right now. If you put it up on ebay with a $.99 starting price, the market will tell. I would guess $100 to $200. Just a guess, though.
This site has many avid Omega collectors following closely. If the watch was in high demand, you would see several PMs in your in box......

Your pricing is about right, in that era Omega made so many different styles and models of Constellation, none of which are popular, desirable or particularly special and there are a lot more available today than there are buyers.

Generally speaking if they're solid gold they're worth gold weight and that's about it, if they're not (10K GF is not desirable) then its worth $100-200 or so. Although its an Omega, its place in the company's history is similar to the Maserati Bi-Turbo's place in that brand's history.
