I bought this watch about 5 to 8 years ago. It’s mostly been a closet queen. Can someone give me an estimated value of what it’s worth? It was serviced before I bought it from a member but I have not had it serviced since I’ve had it. Only worried about four or five times. would it be worth it to have it serviced locally by an experienced Omega Rolex watchmaker? Never knew what the spot was on the back, but I’m assuming that is the beginning of patina?

Not enough sales to make a judgement on value, but: https://stories.omegaforums.net/the-unusual-geneve-18k-chronometer-reference-137-001/

Looks like yours is 18k as well? (not filled/plated/etc)? That would increase the value quite a bit as gold is pretty high value right now. It is quite a pretty watch, but its tough to convince folks to get a 3-handed hand-winder these days 😀

Anyway, yours is gorgeous, but the value is going to be 'whatever you can get someone to buy it for on the open market'.

As far as whether it is worth servicing: This comes down to whether you want to wear it. IF you aren't going to wear it, it isn't going to add value (AND it won't get 'worse' without it running). IF you want to wear it, spending ~$500 on a GOOD service from a certified watchmaker is, IMO, worth every penny.

That mark on the back is the result of the alloy in 18k gold reacting with the environmental factors. This one worth roughly around $2000 give or take.
