Valuation Help - Seamaster

This watch was my Grandfathers. A Navy man.
It has never been opened or serviced. It appears to be a Cyclops due to the 12 mark. Missing the crown as shown.
Thoughts? If it has some value I may keep it as a momento of years past.

Any recommendations for an honest service watch guy?

Ok thanks, naive here. We thought it was a cyclops because of the 4 bars on the 12 location. What model would this be than?

So the group tells me this is not a Cyclops. Need some help identifying the model and potential valuation. I will have it serviced if a unique model. Thanks

I have that same watch. My mother purchased it used from a local jeweler as a birthday present for my father in 1973. She purchased him a new one a few years later so it sat in his sock drawer for a decade or so. I admired it often and ask my parents if they would gift it to me as a graduation gift from college. They were happy to oblige and paid for it to be serviced. That was 35 years ago...

I highly recommend the Omega Boutique at Phipps Plaza in Buckhead, GA. They serviced mine about 6.5 years ago. Omega will return it to Switzerland for service. It will take some time but you will not be disappointed. My watch was returned in stunning condition and looked like new. Even those working at the boutique were mesmerized. The manager is Tim McCain. You can call him or Donald Thomas the assistant manager. The store phone number is 1+ (404) 841-9252.

I would agree with the as is value of about $500 USD. You will pay about $600 USD for the restoration but it will be like new. They will return all of the parts to you. They can also research the history of when the watch was made, where it was originally sold, etc. It turns out my watch was made in December of 1965, before I was born. You will have a $1200 watch when done. However, the compliments and feedback you will get from "watch people" will be equal to a much more expensive watch. For me it was my father's and that sentiment means a lot to me. It may not feel the same for you.
