An early watch, I guess around 1900, case is nickel, not silver - so the financial value is very low - the sentimental value as a heritage and memento of your grandpa is what counts here.

The little "M" on the movement stands for metal, and indicates that the watch was originally sold in France. At the time, movements of watches that went to France were often marked to denote the case material: "O" stands for or, "A" stands for argent, and "M" for metal.

Value? It has been said that almost anything is worth more to the owner than it is to anyone else. I just finished servicing the brother to your Omega. It was in a heavily worn coin silver case with a hinged back. The hinge was damaged beyond repair. The mechanism needed a lot of work, and new parts, as well as a NOS beveled glass watch crystal. The owner paid $600.00 for the repair! In my estimation, the cost of the repair was more than double what the value of the garden variety, 15-jewel Omega movement in its silver case is worth. But the owner was glad to pay it. I didn鈥檛 think the watch was worth repairing, but the owner felt it was.
