When someone sells to me a Vintage Omega Watch with a broken or a missing part, I don't frown and tell the trader upfront to offer the watch to another buyer. But, I instead offer the best price with the trader because I know that I can sell or use the other watch parts in the future.
Before I ventured into buying and selling vintage Omega Parts, some watch parts sellers in my area would price their watch parts too high. When I badly need the watch part, I don't have a choice but to buy the watch part that I need! With the high price of a watch part that I need, it somehow "hurt" the profit that I am going to make for a watch that badly needs a missing part. :)
There are some physical attributes (in my own experience) that a Vintage Omega watch has a damaged part before I open up the watch movement. One is, if the case is gold plaque, and it shows some bad corrosion and if the dial is already damaged and unreadable.

After buying a broken Omega Watch, I carefully put it in a hard plastic box and I put a label of the movement's caliber on the outside of the box. Watch parts prices go up with time. It can overtake inflation! It is a good insurance for your money. Watch parts have also a value like your precious watch!
One example I can give that a watch part can really handle inflation and gives you a good profit margin is some people over the internet sells Rolex Gold bracelet links. They don't price each link by the current price of gold per gram in the market but instead sell a Rolex link sometimes three times MORE than the current gold price per gram in the market! What a good profit indeed!
