I am getting ready to purchase an omega ladies watch from a friend . It says 14 gold on the back and 1971. if it is gold it would have to be white gold . The band looks beat up but the watch itself looks nice . I'm only giving him 30 dollars because it was his uncle's wife's who left him and returned the watch after twenty yrs of marriage. is is inscribed on the back thank you for your twenty years. I know nothing of omega but am thinking of either getting rid of it or giving it to my fiance, but somehow w/o the ingravimg. is that old of a omega even worth messing with or would you recommend me to just scrap it ? I don't really want the watch but he won't except the money unless I except it. I trust your opinions. I just don't want to throw something in the trash that a watch person might want . I'm not trying to sell it here . I just don't know what to do. to be honest . if you say trash it, that is where it is going after he leaves

 

Tis the season to be trolly. Fa la la la laaaaa, la la la laa.

 

Photos would help assess the watch.

 

Let's see, things to take into consideration:
Friend's uncle's wife....$30....Gold but it would have to be white...Getting rid of it or giving it to your Fiancee..
Friend gives it to you for $30 but only worth $1... Not a nice friend.. (I am sure he did not do his homework)
You give it to your Fiancee but do not marry her at the end, Who cares? ---- PRICELESS

 

I'm confused, she left him after 20 years, then gave him her watch back inscribed 'thank you for your twenty years'. Hard to advise without pictures, but maybe it isn't a keeper.

 

I'm quite sure that I'm not sure what you are doing

 

So it's a fake marked 14 gold on a stainless steel case....PASS

" I don't really want the watch but he won't except the money unless I except it."

I am unfortunately lost after this part of the OP.

 

Well, if he had used the correct word "accept" instead of "except" it might have made a little more sense.

Besides, this is just another thread in need of Febreeze.

 

It implies that there is a third option in the deal....the uncle just gets paid

Happy he trusts the OF consensus on this situation....

 

Trash it.... no wait...keep it.....wait...trash it..... nah... keep it....o.k. trash it....

 

NO! Make a video of it getting used as a hockey puck. Tis that season also!

 

Jericokid, meet the Waco Kid.

 

Certainly the only one who admits it.

 

He left out the part where the uncle's wife was a prisoner in 'Nam, and had to hide the watch from the V.C...

 

I can hook you up with a nice NOMOS... It's hot as hell but has a *rare* Moccha dial.

PM if interested...

 

Are you ( I am quite sure what I'm doing )

Looks like you are little confused. Just throw in photos and lets see it!

Also, for me i will not pay for something which is fake, and has engravings from other family history

better save your 30 bucks and buy a nice meal or Lego

cheers
