I saw this item at an estate sale that I went to. 18K gold Omega automatic DeVille watch was the description. It sold before I got there. The owner was wealthy and had great stuff. How do I asses its value? What would you pay for this? (I know the price it sold for). I will post the price in a later post.

 

Melt value mostly on welded bracelet style of these watches but this one looks like it can be changed to a nice leather. So no idea from me, others will know more.....

 

Around 50gr excluding the movement. Worth about $1300 in gold. Close enough to sold price?

 

It sold for $2600. The watch style seems too fancy and out-of-style to me. If you sold the band, and then put a nice leather band on it, it might look pretty sharp.

 

I believe it oversold.

 

I currently live in Dubai
there are many here that would think a watch like that to be both desirable and understated -and a bargain to boot.....

 

The watch turned up on Ebay. Owner looking to double his money.

Said owner is dreaming

 

"it also has a plastic crystal!"
"it is also labeled 24 jewels!"

So tempting..........

 

Three months and the watch is still there on eBay for the same price. The seller has added some new pictures and put the watch on a posh little pillow. It's laying there like a unwanted whore in a French whorehouse.

 

Its a nice watch but not for the money

Like you alway hear, not everything old is worth a lot and just because the gold is worth 2k does mean the watch is worth 3k more. If it wasn't gold that would be a couple hundred dollar watch all day long,... so add that value of the gold to take and in imho what say it is worth.
