Hi,
New to the Omega forum, but long time Omega fan. My wife gave me a watch that was her grandfather's. It's an old/vintage Seamaster with what I think is a model number inside the back of the case (KM6736). Definitely solid 14k gold case and band. Movement is an Omega 563 (Automatic; 17 jewels). It literally doesn't look like it's ever been worn, or at least not very much at all. I'm trying to figure out a) exactly what it is; and b) what it's worth. Anyone out there familiar with this vintage Omega?

Nice American gold Seamaster from 1967, with KM reference, if you move rotor you will prob see OXG on movement also indicative of US watch.
Look for hallmark on bracelet for 18k gold if so worth a lot in gold alone.
Nice watch nice heirloom

Thanks so much for replying. Very helpful and interesting. I checked the band and it's 14k as well. The clasp has an Omega on it, so it must have been original to the watch.

I forgot to ask if the watch fits your wrist? They are usually not adjustable so hope it fits you. Are you having it serviced? Use independent watchmaker with Omega parts account who is familiar with vintage

Unfortunately, the watch does not fit me. As for service, it's really not needed. The inside is so clean and pristine and the watch appears to work very normally. I took it to a local jeweler/watch dealer who happens to specialize in Omegas. They said that unfortunately it's not of a style/type that is marketable. They offered me melt value (+/- $4,000). They have a pre-owned, excellent condition "No Time To Die" ("NTTD" - which is a watch I've been wanting) which I might use mine to trade them for.

CHÀO,
Mới tham gia diễn đàn Omega, nhưng đã là fan Omega từ lâu. Vợ tôi tặng tôi một chiếc đồng hồ của ông cô ấy. Đó là một chiếc Seamaster cổ điển/cổ điển, hình như có số hiệu model ở mặt sau vỏ (KM6736). Vỏ và dây đeo bằng vàng nguyên khối 14k. Bộ máy là Omega 563 (tự động; 17 chân kính). Trông nó chẳng giống người đeo chút nào, hoặc ít nhất là chưa từng đeo. Tôi đang cố gắng tìm hiểu xem a) chính xác nó là gì; và b) giá trị của nó. Có ai ở đây quen thuộc với chiếc Omega cổ điển này không?

bạn bán giá bao nhiêu tôi muốn mua

Before they melt it down, you might put it on ebay for a starting bid of $5,000, or however much you need to get the watch you want, and then there is at least the chance that a collector will want it, and it not be melted down. You could just try it.
