Need help with my great-Grandad’s watch!

Kash Yarunakaran · Dec 6, 2020

Hey guys,

My great grandad used to wear this omega Seamaster back in the 80s, and it’s been in super rough shape ever since he passed on (so for a decade or more). I recently got my first job, and wished to get the watch repaired. I’ve been quoted a price of $275, but I can’t accurately identify the model to be able to research and see what it’s worth / what it is. Please help?

it seems like a ref no. 13390 with dauphine hands, but I can’t be sure (please note that the belt is aftermarket)
Thanks in advance!

Great heirloom. Get it serviced (the cost mentioned is more than fair considering the condition). I’d buy a new strap if I were you. If this is a strict valuation question, then I’d say it’s worth very (emphasis on very) little given it’s current condition. Remove the case back for the serial and case number and you’ll know a lot more about the watch 😀

The reference number is engraved in the caseback, if you have it opened (it should have been for a repair quote) you can read it. I have a hunch you will find a 2xx caliber inside, a later iteration of the 30t2SC. Nice movement. Before agreeing to the repair price, be sure if the sweep hand (missing here) that will be fitted is genuine omega or aftermarket: the cost can be quite different, don't pay omega price for a generic hand. Same remark for crystal.
