·You're on the wrong forums, this could be more aimed towards watchmaking
I don't think this is Omega and these movements are usually not valuable, maybe $1
You can buy 100's of them for $100 on eBay

·Pin lever, 2 jewels, rocker bar winding and setting. I was thinking possibly BFG, but apparently not. The mechanism may have a trade mark and calibre number scribed on it, somewhere. But NOT Omega, and not by any watch company whose name you would recognize. Typical movement for a cheap watch. Not collectible IMO.

·There are a few of us who do collect such things. Does look like a Baumgartner. These movements were made just before the quartz crises. Mostly as a cost cutting measure to compete against Timex in the disposable watch market.
Surprisingly the, Swiss ones unlike, Tmex are somewhat reparable as the plates are screwed on.
What is interesting is that these came with all the complications. Date, calendar, Alarm and chronograph. Often they are used in films as prop watches.
Such watces are also good practice watches to learn restoration on.
Their is no resale value on any of this. It is all about what one personally likes.
