I have an Omega watch for sale. I have no idea where to start with pricing of the watch. I bought it from my Uncle who was left it when a friend of his unfortunately passed. It came with an unbranded silver bracelet that was in unsatisfactory condition. Through my local jeweller (has sold me and my family various watches, including 5 seamasters, 4 of which are the modern variants) had the watch sent to Geneva for servicing. They equipped the watch with a genuine Omega strap and serviced the piece which now moves beautifully with its automatic function. The problem is, I dont wear the watch, it sits in my wardrobe in a case with no love. Cant even say I wear it from time to time (no pun intended) because i dont!
What I would love to know from all you lovely people is how much can I get for this. Would love to help my brother out who needs a new car and quite frankly its just sat there! Please let me know what I should be asking for this.

 

IMO refinished dial. Text not correct.

 

helping reset expectations for u'r bro . . .

 

That doesnt help me

 

Collector eur 0
Mainstream eur 650 untill they find out

 

Genuine omega strap is quite valuable though

 

Well the service was £280 and took weeks. Thats including the strap. I just need a bit of guidance on this as Im not a collector. Was not aware of the possibility it was a refinished dial though, so i’m glad thats been pointed out. I assume that means it has been altered from original?

 

Have you the paperwork for the ‘Geneva’ servicing, to evidence that it actually happened ?

 

Yep

 

Is this something that may have been potentially done when serviced?

 

I havent. Just a receipt from the jeweller for the strap. I never quieried it at the time because I’d have never thought I would have an interest to sell. Very much just curious as to what this watch is worth face value.

 

That would be a bit criminal to do...but you've forgotten how the watch looked like before service?

 

And the price of the strap was …?

 

£280

 

The same I would have thought but cant aay for certain. I assume we are talking about the text that states “seamaster” on the dial that made you think so?

 

And swiss made
And automatic
And omega

 

A

Receipt states £280 for service and strap. And I was told at the time and prior to paying it would be sent off directly to Omega and would be a few weeks. Thats all I know. I understand for collectors its not much to go at but Im merely curious and not making any enquiries about selling right now.

 

Yeah its beyond me all that, you’re obviously quite clued up in this field for such an old watch so Im very pleased you pointed it out

 

Just a little surprised that the Omega Official Service, did not include case polishing ?

Unless of course you requested that should not be done ?

 

Compared to others I'm just a beginner. Good luck with your watch!
