Thanks for sharing your experience. I will definitely try it on before making the purchase. Thanks!
Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge! That's an interesting perspective on finding the right estimation. Do you happen to know the value of the gold in this 33 mm watch?
Thank you! I found a new watch - can you give me an estimation of its value?
You can currently get about $32 USD per gm of 14k scrap gold from a buyer. That is obviously just the weight of the case, not including the movement/dial.
I suggest that you research the market, follow auctions to completion, and learn the value of watches yourself. That's what we all do.
If you know the diameter and the movement caliber you can start to do some research on pricing. You don’t need to find an exact match for comparison.
A ‘no name’ 18ct Omega from the 60’s will be worth about the same as a Geneve, Seamasters slightly more, Constellations slightly more still.
Have you searched for other vintage 18ct Omega watches in 34mm on eBay etc? A very quick eBay search on sold listings give some comparables.
A quick calculation shows at 40g there’s around £1400 in gold, but I assume this weight includes the movement and dial which you’ll have to eat a image and deduct to get the scrap value of the gold.
I got mine from eBay for 1400 USD last year. It’s an earlier geneve and I guess a newer ones like the 1st watch you posted is worth a bit less. Mine’s 18 ct. I may have overpaid a bit going by the feed back I received when I were in your shoes asking about this watch here.![]()
There is excellent examples of a latter geneve on sale in the sales section from an excellent seller and active member.
And as already said be mind full of the vintage watch sizes. I believe mines a 34 and I found it surprisingly small though it has grown on me( not literally).
All the best, the hunt is half the fun. That’s how I found this exceptional forum.

Thanks for your reply! For me, they look quite similar and they're both nice watches. But what would be a fair price of the second watch i shared? Any rough estimation would be appreciated.
