    I have a ladies Omega watch that has been sitting in a drawer for a long time and frankly I am just to trying to find out what it could be worth. I honestly know nothing about the watch other than it was my mothers and I would have to guess she got it in the 60's in Europe before she moved to the US. It seems to be in really good shape, no scratches on the face or blemishes anywhere on the watch. It has always been in a small red lightly padded pouch with yellow trim with a snap closure that may be original to the watch, but I have now idea. I find myself in a difficult situation and I need to sell this watch. I don't know the model or really anything other than what you can see in the pics, and I haven't been able to find any info anywhere really.

    Its very small, seems to be all gold. Weighs 1.6 oz, about 6" long and 1/2" wide at bezel

    Still works just fine when when you wind it up.

    The serial number on the movement dates it to 1969. Women's watches aren't very desired by collectors, but that's an 18ct integrated case & bracelet so gold's price is where it gets it's value. Nice watch, and an heirloom to boot. :thumbsup:

    I find it amazing that these ladies watches with flexible gold bracelets are still in one piece after all this time, this one hardly even looks worn.

    To be honest, I never saw her wear this once, always just sitting in that little pouch.

    For the limited value you'll get out of melting it for what it is, and given that your mother clearly cared about it, you might be best keeping it safe, maybe passing it onto a daughter or niece some day.
