I suspect this is the movement you have in your ancestor’s watch. Someone may confirm, but if that is what is in the case, it is a highly sought after calibre T17! And in an 18-karat gold case, no less. The dial is in nice shape, but the hands are not original to that model. In good condition, this would be a prized possession among serious Omega watch collectors. You need to think long and hard before you dispose of it. Your loss would be someone else's gain! Any one who sees your post might hate me for letting the cat out of the bag, but that’s okay. You may be told it is worth scrap value for the 18-karat case, plus maybe $50.00 for the movement. It could be worth around about double or triple such a low ball offer! No sentimental worth to you? There is considerable intrinsic worth in what you have. If you decide to dump it, send me a private message!
