路My father passed away recently and I found an old Omega watch that was given to him by the wife of one of his best friends when the friend passed away in the late 60's. I estimate that the watch is from the late 40's to early 50's based upon knowing the people involved, military service, graduation from college, etc.
The watch appears to be stainless steel and the hands all move appropriately when using the winding stem to set the time. The movement does not work and it feels like the springs are wound to max capacity. I estimate the watch to have been sitting in a box or drawer for the past 45 to 50 years.
Does this have any value, and is it worth exploring having the watch sent in to be repaired. The watch doesn't have any real sentimental value to me or my siblings as it was not my fathers watch, although it did have sentimental value to him. Photos are below:
