    Recently inherited this watch which is engraved with my great grandfathers name and address on the back.
    Any ideas on it's value? Watch works great but I no longer wear one.
    Any assistance greatly appreciated! FullSizeRender (16).jpg IMG_4309.JPG IMG_4309.JPG FullSizeRender.jpg IMG_4308.JPG

    Yup agree with @billythekid. Dial/case looks good too but I'm still green as well. Movement looks tired but could be remedied. I think you have something valuable. More learned members will come along and let you know exactly what to do.

    This watch is replaced with another dial at some point. Original dial should have "Chronomètre" on it.

    Is that a chronometer movement? Or to put it another way, were any non-chronometer movements made with the RG regulator?

    You need to ask @Bill Sohne or @mac_omega, they're always buying them :D.

    Yes, it is correct for a chronometre 30T2 RG. Note the higher grade finished ratchet and transmission wheels and the RG regulator is there! Reference 2365 appears to have housed the RG movements...try a Google image search Omega 2365. The dial was refinished or replaced at some point.

    Here's a 30T2 non chronometre

    thanks folks keep it coming! I had no idea how complex these things are and did not realize there was so much interest in old watches! Just what I need another hobby..............

    Yep, can confirm it is an original 2365 chronometre with 30 T2 SC Rg, but unfortunately the dial is wrong (replaced) - this lowers the value about 40-50%

    I have decided to sell the watch- Much rather use the value for new fishing gear that I will use.
    Where is the best place to sell this thing and what would be a reasonable asking price?

    Unfortunately the FS section here requires 200 posts so that's unlikely to be an option. Given that you have pics of the movement and case back (which removes some elements of doubt for buyers), I'd suggest eBay.

    Last resort would be the fleabay but probably the best visibility.
