The two watches shown below were handed down to me from my dad. I am looking for help on figuring out the exact models they are and what the current value of them may be. I believe that he must have purchased them in the early 1970's. I do not believe he ever wore them as he had another Omega watch which he wore everyday. and they appear to me to be in perfect condition. The bands i believe are both original but one has deteriorated due to age. I also have the original boxes. I am thinking about servicing the watches to get them to run and replacing the band but would like some advice before I proceed further.

Thanks for any help.

What a great find! They are in beautiful condition and likely just need a movement service in addition to a replacement strap for the first one. Whatever you do, do NOT send them to Omega for servicing. If you can give us an idea of where you are, we can help you find a watchmaker who can properly service the watches without altering their vintage character.

This is the last watch that he had. This one included all the boxes and original paperwork and was purchased in 1972 from Turler & Co. in Switzerland. Amazingly this one still runs after almost 50 years of just sitting in storage. I believe that this one was also never worn. Pricing on this one would be greatly appreciated.

Your dad's watches are insane! Now that's a collector lol. Last one is a 168.029. It's in immaculate condition on its original bracelet. C case are typically on the brick bracelet but I believe they came on these ones as well. The watch and bracelet go for around $1200+. With box and papers, even more. I had the same model, 35mm is a great size. Preserve them as he did and wear them in good health

Can anyone recommend a watchmaker for the OP in the New York area who can perform a sympathetic service on these beauties?

New York is a huge state. I know some Manhattan guys but with the covid stuff some of the buildings on 47th st are still wholesale dealer-only access. Might be best for now to wait a bit. Hopefully soon the restrictions can be relaxed if this pandemic gets under control.
