Good afternoon. I greet everyone on the forum. I am new here. I have attached photos of my watch, which I received from my father. Could you estimate the value of my watch in its current condition? It has visible signs of corrosion and a damaged hinge on the cover from the mechanism side.


Thank you very much in advance for any advice.

No real value as a watch, but the case appears to be 14k gold.

In current condition the value is whatever the case is worth in gold value as noted above.
Restoration will cost a considerable amount above the value of the watch even when complete.

It may seem like sacrilege to suggest an Omega has only scrap value on an Omega collectors forum, but as you can see from the previous replies that’s about the value here due to the reasons stated. As a wild guess there is probably around 30g of 14k there, putting the value somewhere in the £1400/$1,900 ballpark. Maybe more maybe less.
