It's a ladies watch from the 90s, solid 18k gold, quartz, with 14 diamonds. Could anyone tell me what model this is please? Or where in London I could take it to have it assessed and valued. In working condition. TIA

Do you have a photo of the back of the watch?

Unfortunately, most ladies watches, and also watches from that era, generally don't have a lot of value as collectibles. The value is mainly in the gold, and perhaps a little extra for the diamonds. A pawn shop would be able to give you a reasonable estimate.

Thanks. I'm not interested in selling it as it has sentimental value. I was keen to find out the model if possible as I haven't been able to match it to any old model on the internet.

If it's an Omega authorized case there should be a reference/model number marked inside. There were so many random models made that finding an exact match will likely be fruitless, even with a reference number.

Originally, you explicitly asked about having it assessed and valued. My point was that a pawn shop would make you an offer. You don't have to sell it.

Any identifying information will be inside. Perhaps you can have a watchmaker/jeweler open it for you.

Yes sorry I meant assessed as in what model it might be (as well as its value) etc. I have just opened it and searched for the number inside but nothing comes up 🙁 It is quite a random model for what I can see. Thanks 😀

I'm wondering if those diamonds are aftermarket, it just doesn't look OEM.

I think the owner had them customised at the time of purchase

The 47 million is the serial number. Is there anything inside the case-back? Photo?

You can stop searching, yours is not an Omega sanctioned case. A jeweler took an Omega movement and placed it into a gold case, not an uncommon thing particularly in the dark early quartz era.

Thanks, what does that mean? What is a sanctioned case? and what would be the omega "movement"?
