    Any Info would be appreciated. Omega could not help me, but they said they would clean and rewarranty it for $605.00.
    Its been in the family for 30+ years and was just pulled out, but We have no clue what the value is .
    or what model it is.

    Thanks

    Well its a model 6349 . Made in late 1978. It is gold plated with 20 microns and has a caliber 625 manual movement. It is not worth to much at this point. You don't state if it is running, but it can likely be repaired if it is not and certainly for far less then $600. Your best course is an independent watch maker for about $200.

    it is running perfect. Just trying to figure out if paying $605.00 is worth it to clean. I dont know if it is a $200 watch or a $2000.00 watch

    Womens watches do not bring as much as men's. Cleaned up and looking nice about $200 on a good day, less on a bad one.

    Also , the pattern that is stamped in behind the movement is something that I have not come across in my search. What you happen to be familiar with that pattern?

    Ah, hard to tell from photo. Then perhaps $300-400 You must always make that known if you sell it.

    It may have something to do with the case maker , which is not Omega and probably the Dennison Watch Case Company ( they made cases for English Omegas, so it is legit). It could be a date marking or just a design. Please check back later as others may know.

    Actually, the logos are engraved on the underside of the dial. "ZJ" or "JZ" must be the dial contractor. That part probably was made in Switzerland.

    Not the first time that question has been asked without a good answer:

    Hope this (kind-of) helps,
