I have a 1939 Omega mans wrist watch. It is 14 k gold, 17 jewel, manual wind, OXG movement. It is square, and has diamond chips at the 1-3-5-7-9-11 hands. The face is rose colored. Would like to know value, to list for sale. It runs and keeps good time. Have not been able to find another one like it.

 

Open the case back and check the reference number. Then search for that reference number on ebay and search the sold listed. This will give you best value of the watch. If you want information on the watch, post clear, high resolution pictures and you most likely get help identifying the watch. This thread is worth reading when asking for advice/help.

It was a US delivery watch though. As denoted by the OXG import code.

 

Small women's watches are not very valuable to start with as they are for the most part not collected. Yours also has a redial which makes it less attractive. The value will be in the gold of the case plus maybe a few euros for the movement.

This is a mans watch as per post

 

Sorry it’s a ladies watch if it’s that small. Diamond chips seal it as a woman’s in my book.

As said not very collectable

 

It's an R17.8 caliber (later Caliber 300 family) so it's fairly small at 17.8mm x 22mm and flat at 3.25mm.

Serial number dates it to somewhere between 1940 and 1950. Although gents watches were much smaller at the time, I think this is a ladies model due to the small caliber as the gents watches were using the 30mm movements at that period.

As said, it's not particularly collectable and the only value I can see is scrap gold and the movement.

The only ay to find out for sure is to list it on eBay and see what it brings.

 

Absolutely a mans watch. Ladies watches of this period were about the size of a thumbnail and would have used either an R11.5 (210) or R13.5 (240) which were ladies movements. The R17.8 was used in men's watches, including round ones. Stylistically OPs watch is clearly not a ladies watch.

 

Then the person holding the OP's watch has HUGE hands.

 

On ebay is the same model for sale (except the diamonds on the dial of course)
