·I'm looking to sell this watch I was given by my father, lovely as it is, it doesn't suit me. I haven't a CLUE how much it's worth. Any ideas?
Any idea on a valuation on my vintage 1972 Omega

·Probably around £400-500 assuming it’s 9ct.
Doe you have the original 9ct omega buckle with it? They’re worth a couple of hundred as well.
I’d keep it if it were my dads as the money isn’t huge.

·Depends on the material, karat gold vs gold-filled.

·The 'where' would probably be Ebay. You'd need signifcantly better pictures for vintage, including inside the case back to get any reasonable amount of money (which would also show the gold content). The watch itself looks lovely/barely used though, which is nice. It'll still need a service by whoever buys it (though, its not worth paying to do yourself, as it'll be $400 US or so at minimum).
Looks like there is one for sale already on ebay, roughly 700 GBP, in similar shape (though I'll bet they don't get that), though without the engraving (which, IMO, makes yours worth less).
So where to sell: probably ebay. How: Take a bunch of really good pictures and be willing to wait for someone to want it 😀

·I agree with eBay. I’m 99% certain it’s solid 9ct gold UK made case but unfortunately the paperwork doesn’t confirm so you may need to spend a few quid getting a watchmaker to open it (it’s a front loader) to confirm the hallmarks on the inside.

That would be enough identification and no need to risk opening the watch.

··Sunburst dial fanBut, if you do get it opened, ask the watchmaker to take photos of the movement, all the movement markings and numerals and, the inside case back.

·K kroynadThank you. I feel I now have enough information, thanks all, to pop on ebay. (Surprised eBay is the marketplace for this!)
