    Sorry, @thomas57 but as the cosmetic and mechanical condition of a watch is all-important when considering valuations, there's really not much to go from with that description and picture.

    The last number you posted "168-1501" is the reference number. Do searches on "Omega 1681501" or "Omega 168.1501" to find out more about your watch. If you type the same information in the eBay search bar you'll probably find a couple for sale.

    the watch is mint, no scratches inside and out. works fine. found only one on ebay that sold today of all things, but it went low because the guy used the band I.D. as the model number in error. I was going to bid on it but you never know with ebay.

    Seamaster 120m auto. 36mm, from mid 1990s. Uses 1109 or 1120 movement. Not a big seller outside of Japan where watches of this size are popular. Value maybe £500-750 depending on condition and completeness. Less if not running right. Be aware a service if needed (and it invariably is) will cost £200-500 depending on who you go to.

    168.1501 is only the case number. You need the PIC code to more accurately describe it.

    Not sure which section of the forum is best suited to this. My gut says modern but at mid 90s this is already 20+ years old so stretching modern rather!

    I don't know. I personally would look around sale boards and eBay to get an idea. This is what I have done in the past when selling. Takes a bit of time. Good luck.
