hello
my husband wore this as his everyday watch..from 1970?..he died in 2010.
He had it serviced in Seattle by an Omega rep but I'm not sure where.
I am going to sell it I guess..I'm just starting here..
I don't have service info or the serial number..
..IMG_2317.jpeg IMG_2316.jpeg at 80 yrs old, it's kind of a daunting task.
I will include photos (I hope) and thank you in advance for guidance and advice.

Welcome to OF. This looks like a nice watch gold Omega Constellation probably 168.029 from around 1970. Movement is probably 751. Looks like 14k gold and bracelet. Worth quite a lot in gold value alone but the watch itself if desirable too.
Take it to a watchmaker and have them open it and take movement photos and photos of inside Caseback this will confirm reference and movement. Also ask them to get serial number photo ( on movement).
Your best bet is probably eBay if you have someone
who can help organize this. This looks like good original example and should bring around $2000 I would say. You can’t sell it here as OF rules require considerable presence and participation before being granted sales privileges.
Good luck hope this helps.

If the watchmaker (if you take it to one) makes an offer.

wait and report back here to be sure it’s fair
