How to Value an Omega Watch – NOT!

1. Never trust a jeweller.
2. Appraisals usually have a percentage of value component, there is a clue there.
3. To find the true value start the auction at £1 with no reserve, where in finishes is its value.

As a general tip don’t put a genuine Omega in a fake box, sends the wrong signal.

This timepiece was recently serviced by a high class premier jewellers in my local town centre, costing £200 with receipt to prove, he also appraised the watch for a further cost of £45, and valued the Omega at £5000 pounds with which a certificate is supplied as proof.

    If I had a 5,000 GBP (8700 USD) Omega, I would at least know it has duaphine hands and not “dolphin” hands (or maybe it was Omega’s homage to Flipper?).

    >“dolphin”

    I had a little giggle at that too. Don’t get me wrong I’m no expert but if I had a five grand watch to sell I’d learn pretty quick :)

    Speaking of Dolphins what about this seamaster

    Put it on the mantlepiece and it would keep the kids away from the fire.

    I have a early 1980’s 14K gold deville Omega ladies watch. How do I find out what it’s worth? AND…could I trade it in on a more recent Omega watch?

    “I own a Omega Seamaster mans watch with sweep second hand, purchased between 1930 and 1940″
    Uh, Omega didn’t start making Seamaster watches until after the end of World War 2, to be exact, 1948…
