    Hi. Please identify this Roamer alarm watch I bought for $150 from an old store. It's manual winding with an alarm function that is working but movement needs service as it was locked for 50 years in a trunk. Dial size is 33mm. Any help and suggestions will be appreciated.

    It's a Swiss made Roamer alarm watch, worth about 150 bucks.

    Sorry dear for being vague. My query was to know the worth of this watch and your esteemed opinion on its quality etc. I'll try to post pics of the movement once I take it to my watchmaker by this evening IST. Regards

    If you do a search on ebay for sold listings and type in "roamer alarm" you should get a sense of its value. Looks like 3 sold recently ranging from 23-105 USD. The 23 was a parts watch and 105 was gold plated. I think your was nice than than eBay so I think you paid a fair price.

    I'm no expert in Roamer so I can't comment on the dial originality which will have an impact on value
