·Hello,
I’ve come here to ask for some advice regarding a gold watch I inherited from my grandmother. I believe she got it as a gift in 40s-50s, but by the time it got to me it had no box or paperwork. I took it to an horologist to have it open and check for numbers (there are none on the outside), but the number she took down as serial does not appear to be that and I can’t find it in omega reference numbers either, so I am still not much further in understanding what precisely it is, so far what I know is:
-14carat gold omega watch with 10carat gold-plated bracelet (I think they’re all original, i.e. they were not changed since my grandmother got them)
-The model seems to be 620, I think
-The horologist reckoned it’s 1940-1945
-It works and apparently is really smooth when winding
-Barely any scratches (it looks even better now, as the outside pics are before the lady polished the bracelet).
So, primarily I’d like to know what is it and then if at some point I’d like to sell it, what would be the best way of going about it? (I’m in UK).
Thank you in advance for your help.
