·Greetings everyone!
My father passed away last year and while I was cleaning out his home, I found his old 1957 Omega Seamaster Automatic Caliber 501. It was in HORRIBLE condition and I took it to my local Omega dealer to have it examined and see what it would cost to fully restore it. After 4 months and a trip to/from Switzerland, it has returned. It looks amazing now. My question is: can anyone steer me towards any resources to properly appraise this watch?
I really want to figure out a ballpark value on this watch so I can add it to my insurance policy just in case anything should ever happen to it. This was a gift from my grandmother to my father when he graduated high school in 1958. I intend to keep it as a family heirloom and hand it down to my older son when he's ready someday.
