Hi everyone, I’m new to this community and would appreciate some advice.

A few years back I got this watch that belonged to my grandfather. I believe it is a vintage Omega Constellation with a cloisonné enamel dial. As you can see from the photos, the watch is not currently in great condition.

I have a few questions:

  1. Restoration: Is it possible to restore this watch to a better condition? If so, where would you recommend getting it serviced/restored, and what kind of cost should I expect?
  2. Value: What would be a fair estimate of the watch’s current value?
  3. Selling: If I decide not to keep it, what would be the best place to sell a watch like this to get a fair price?

I would appreciate any guidance, especially from those familiar with vintage Omega Constellations. Thank you!

You should decide right now if you want to keep it or not, because if you want to sell it, you definitely do not want to invest anything in a restoration.

If you wish keep it, be prepared for significant outlay. I would only send this to Omega Switzerland.

If you decide to sell it, do nothing except take good photos for whatever selling platform you choose.
