·Forum etiquette is to be more polite in your questions.
Include some pics of the clock works would be good.
Ebay would be your best bet for value.

·I would suggest that if there is any interest, you may get a private message. You would need 200 posts in order to be able to sell on the message board.

·Those who frequent the message board don’t appreciate “hit-and-run” posts which pop up out of nowhere, ask for value, then “poof”, they’re gone!

··Ωf Jury memberNot high value. The earlier "exact time" dealer display clocks (i.e. from the '50s) have much higher value. Also, I am skeptical of the originality of the hands on the one that you show.

·Advertising clocks are a fun collectible. The higher value ones tend to be rare/old, in categories that crossover like oil/gas, automotive, etc. Not many watch company advertising clocks have a lot of value, in part because they were not manufactured by the watch companies themselves.
As far as an example of an advertising clock is concerned, I’d put this in the $100 to $150 range if it’s working, and taking into account the damage lower left. There are watch collectors (like me) who enjoy this accessory stuff. Have to say that this is not a particularly appealing clock, though.
Your best bet to sell it in Canada is on Kijiji. I suppose Facebook is also an option, but I’ve never used it so don’t really know.

Not rude, just not very polite with an introduction ,chit chat and such. Just asking for info and value makes us feel so cheap.

·Limited value. IMO maybe $50-100.

··Ωf Jury memberSorry, unlikely to be an Omega product, and worth virtually nothing to any discerning collector.

··Melbourne AustraliaI think the case is original, many display clocks were manufactured for various brands by companies that specialised in this niche.
The dial is quite well done and I suspect that the original movement (possibly a Portescap) has been replaced by a modern $10 Takane quartz movement, thus the hands being at odds with the design of the dial.
Value? Not a lot I'm afraid, $20 if somebody liked it enough.
