This Omega Chrono Costs LESS Than its movement
The Omega De Ville Prestige Chronograph is one of the best value used Omega chronographs. These watches often sell for less than $1,500, cheaper the legendary Cal 861 movement inside the watch in many cases.
This means you can buy a De Ville Prestige Chronograph for less than a loose Cal 861 movement and get the rest of the watch for nothing. Sadly it also means 18K gold variants are being melted at an alarming rate, making them an endangered species
