Help identify, please...?
About 20 years ago, I inherited this 70's (I think) solid gold Omega. Since then, I've been trying to find out a little bit about it, but no luck. I just can't seem to find it on the internet.

Pateks 2nd hand above retail
So it seems the message boards are active with all the talk about upcoming 5711/12 steel price increases and concern whether it is selective or will be across the board on all Nautilus or all sport or all steel or all men's, etc etc models.It would seem to me that if the goal were to diminish the 2nd hand/grey market-reseller position, then PP price increases would be selective to those models that resell for a premium greater than retail price.This isnt a perfect science however as the 5712/1A tends to sell slightly below retail and it appears to be subject to the price increase.We all know about 5711 being the prototypical example selling for 40-60% premium above retail. BUT, what are the other models in similar situations and what percent above retail do they resell for?
