Hello, I was hoping to get some insight on my 1970’s Omega watch. Went to a pawn shop and they told me that there aren’t enough on the market to know what it’s worth. It is a women’s watch I believe which I think lowers it’s value but I’m not sure. Any knowledge is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Not sure a pawnshop is the best address to find out about the value of a watch. I’d be surprised if they offered you something in the triple digits for it tbh.

Unfortunately, women’s watch / gold plated / integrated bracelet (as opposed to one that can be exchanged for a leather strap with the usual lug widths of 18-20mm for men’s watches, little smaller for women’s) are all factors that very much limit the value.

If you want to know more than simply what it’s worth, e.g. the reference and serial numbers and thus the year of production (+/- a year or two), have a watchmaker open it for you. It’s a front loader, so a little harder to do than regular screw- or snap backs, but it’s still a job a watchmaker won’t struggle with. When it’s open, take a clear picture of the inside of the caseback and the movement. Make sure the serial is clearly visible and not hidden by the rotor. Come back to us with the pictures and we can tell you more details.

Thank you so much! I will do that ASAP!
