My wife’s old omega , true worth?

Gbhulk · May 13, 2018

Hello omegans!
Quick question, I bought this for my wife prob 12 years ago? She rarely wears it anymore , has asked me to see what it may be worth on the open market. That being said there is a small crack in the mother of pearl that mybwife can see but I can’t. It is small , but does have diamonds all the way around. number 58775171. Any guesses?

The dial has a severe crack in it (runs from 1:30 down and across to 7:30), and honestly being a ladies quartz watch, in this condition it's not worth very much. It would cost more to replace the damaged dial than the watch is worth. I would also want to know how the dial was damaged, and this can happen when someone is removing the hands and doesn't take enough care - for example during a movement swap if the watch had some problem. If someone exchanged the movement and didn't put an Omega movement in, that may also be a factor.

Cheers, Al

Thanks !! That why I ask the pros! I can assure you nobody removed anything, it’s been in our possession since original purchase . It prob cracked form rough usage !!! I appreciate the feedback. So esssntialy it’s worthless , and should be tossed or given to one of my young nieces.

Describe it accurately on Ebay, and start it off at $10 and let it go... then you'll get true worth of what the market will bear and at least something for it.

Place it on a surface other than rough stone
