Omega Pocket Watch 18K, 15 Jewel

Just received this watch from my dad. Apparently it was bought in 1908 in Venezuela for my great grandmother.

I brought it to a watch guy and he says it’s 18K with 15 jewels. Everything seems to be in working order, It runs fast (7mins for 24hrs).

I can’t seem to find any similar watches on the web, lots of variation out there so maybe it was custom made? Or are the watches made and the cases are made to order? There isn't a seconds dial similar to other "Grand Prix 1900s" watches I have found. I have no idea what to do with something like this.

I’m based in Vancouver Canada if anyone has thoughts or more information.

Thank you. I don't think I should open the back again to see if I can find that number. I'm worried I might damage it. Is it worth getting appraised? I know there is not a huge demand for these things. I also don't have any sentimental value for it so if you think I should sell on eBay or anywhere else... let me know your thoughts.

I am afraid that you will not get much more than the gold scrap value. In particular small ladies pocket watches rarely sell significantly above the gold value, except perhaps if the movement is from PP. I recently bought one with a PP movement and had to pay just about 500€ over the gold scrap value.

In your case you might also be able to get a few 100€ above scrap gold value, because of the lovely case design.

For establishing the gold scrap value you would need to weight the case without movement and subtract a estimated weight of the dust lid , which is no gold. And further 1-2 g for the crystal. From experience I would think that the gold content of your watch amounts to not more than 15 g. You can easily look up the gold value of 15 g of 18K gold. Add, say, 300€ the the result and if you are lucky, someone will be prepared to pay the total.
