·Hi
I inherited what I think is a genuine Omega Seamaster, it belonged to my father who passed away in 2002. Since 2002 it’s been tucked away in a draw and forgotten about.
I always remember my father having the watch which he told me his brother had bought him as an 18th or more likely 21st birthday present present. He was born in 1948 so it’d have been 1966 or 1969 when he was given the watch.
The watch is in a very poor state and hasn’t been looked after. It used to work whilst my father was alive but no longer does.
The original strap had broken at some point and my father replaced it with the cheap strap it now has.
My questions to those who know about these watches are, does it look like a genuine Omega?
Is there a known specialist who you would recommend to service it and replace the parts needing replacing?
Would the original strap have been leather or metal?
Is it worth anything? I’m not wanting to sell it, but I would like to know if it has any value other than the memories I have of it.
Thanks in advance.
Philip.
