Hello everyone,
I recently developed an interest in Omega watches and I’m quitte a newbie inthe world of watches overall.
I'd like to ask for your advice because I'm eyeing an Omega Geneva 18-karat gold watch with reference number 132.021.

I'd like to know what a fair price is for this watch. I previously bought another vintage Omega watch for which I probably overpaid.

I'd also like to know the total gold weight. The total case weight is 26.89 grams, as shown in the photos. The buckle weighs 1.7 grams. I do know the Watch is worth morde than the weight of the gold alone

I appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance!

Last one on Ebay sold for ~$1120 US, also gold, and in reasonably similar shape. IF Ebay doesn't do its link replacement, see here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/389358325187?
Thanks for the reply Erich. The link isn’t working for me. I don’t know when that Watch was sold but I’m guessing it’s worth more now in gold alone

It was December, so adjust expectations accordingly.

Okay, the gold price has risen by $15 per gram compared to December. I don't know exactly how much gold is in this watch, but the difference in gold value will be around $200.

Thats a touch high estimate for gold content, but not horribly so. Note of course that 'gold' value is ~80% of 'spot price', since getting spot price on unmelted gold is a pipe dream.

I'm guessing the only difference in value is the gold price though since then, so at best, ~1300. If you are selling, list on ebay and see how it does, if buying, perhaps see what you can do on negotiation.

It came to my attention that you asked for a valuation on the Dutch watch forum for the above (and we don't do that), that I happen to also be a member off. The fact that you weighted the gold clasp and case in pictures here, but not clarified that in your request there.. Hmm. You also told it was an inheratence from a friend.. How does this add up? https://www.horlogeforum.nl/t/informatie-omega-horloges/602661/3
