    Hi,

    I am hoping that someone from this esteemed group might be able to help identify the model in the attached pictures. It is a ladies either from the 60's or 70's (guesstimate) without any markings in the back. It is also believed to be gold. My girlfriend needs to sell it to raise some necessary funds. If anyone might also be able to offer an estimate of it's worth, as she has an interested buyer, this would be greatly appreciated.

    The face and bezel measure 1". 1/4" thick and length with band is 9". I believe that it is snake skin. I am not sure how much added value a band brings.

    Thank you all very much for your help.

    Patrick

    I just purchased this watch this past month. 14k gold case. Your band is not original so its added value is so-so. (no offense, mine is not
    original either and I'm looking for an Omega buckle.) Same era, movement is likely 620 or 625. I paid about $600.
    Having said all that, there may be something more special about your watch. For that guidance, I defer to the experts here.

    I had originally tried to post the back but I guess the size was too large. Sorry, should have followed through. Thank you efauser. Otherwise, I believe that I adhered to the thread suggestions.

    The information you and everyone else needs is inside. Please take it to a watchmaker and have them open it. Then, take clear photos of the numbers on the movement and inside the case back. You can either post the photos here or do an internet search yourself, using those numbers. They are the key to all the information.

    If it's solid gold (looks like it is), the value is around, or just over the scrap value of the gold. As such, you need to confirm gold purity and weight.

    Vintage womens watches aren't really collectible, which is why the value is determined by scrap weight.

    Thank you efauser, I will take it to a watchmaker and see what they have to say. Once I have the details, I will work on seeing if you are correct Davidt3449. The buyer in question is in Brazil and they have shown considerable interest, so maybe Vintage womens watches hold more value outside of the US.
