I am in need of knowledge, though I've been through many sources, I've come up short. I inherited an Omega Automatic Seamaster Meister. It's gold and stainless steel with a gold over stainless bracelet. Production is in the 1958-59 range. I've been to several jewelers and the word from them is the watch is in condition 2 [fine], but none would lock down a value without a full appraisal. Catch 22: I don't want to pay for an appraisal if it costs more than the watch. One jeweler says the watch is a first production and the Meister is superior to the De Ville. Big issue; I can't find definitive information on the Meister. Can anybody help? If I decide to sell, which gets best bang, auction or advertise? Thanks for looking.

 

Hi there. A few things for you:

a) We don't think well without pictures.

b) Start a new thread - with pictures - asking about it.

c) Appraisals are inflated values and not the price a watch will sell for.

 

cicindela; Would this Meister logo have gone on during production/assembly? To my knowledge, this watch was purchased in Charlottesville, Virginia, and I don't recognize if it is a jewelers name.

 

Exactly. From Zurich, Switzerland.
