I have always liked Omega, but never really gotten into collecting them.

New from a Jeweler, yes they are in the $5-8k range. New from online stores, $3k-4k range. Used they are more in the $2k-$3k range give or take a couple hundred
Nothing wrong with buying from a jeweler either. Just want to throw that out there. I try to buy every 4th/5th watch from a local jeweler just to keep it local if nothing else. And they will work with you on pricing as well. The biggest + to buying from a local jeweler is they will usually service the watch for free, and you can build a rapport with them so when you have another watch that needs servicing, you have a trusted place to take it to.
