So, just bought a ladies omega seamaster (?) because i wanted the box that came with it for my '73 200M SHOM.

anybody an idea of value, model, or year? probably will sell it after i get it cleaned up.


thanks!

 

you bought the watch for the box ? don't tell base615...

 

Put it on ebay and hope for the best. Not really much demand for ladies watches.

 

I can understand that the demand is not there. what is it? anyone knows?

Bought it on ebay for 200 USD.

I'll post it there thanks

 

Can't post it there...

 

Don't post it there, read it, especially the first part about photos.

 

You're telling me that if you where to know this watch, you couldn't make it out because of the quality of the pictures? Is that for real?

This is all I got. I'll look further.

 

Have you got the watch in your possesion? If you do, take a close-up photo of the dial and case, as the condition of these are important for evaluation. Also, you'll need to remove the case back, as the condition of the movement is just as important. If the movement shows sign of wear or neglect, the watch will be rendered near worthless, as these aren't very highly valued and servicing/repairing it is expensive.

Best of luck - I for one think it's a good looking specimen

 

Hi ConElPueblo,

I will assess further when I have it. It's being shipped now so hoping to get it somewhere next week. Was thinking an ultrasone bath and some shine would do the trick. It still runs. We'll see. Thanks for your expertise.

 

What could possibly go wrong with that.

(means, unless you know exactly what you're doing, any attempt to "beautify" the watch will result in serious devaluation of an already low value item).

 

Won't polish it, just clean it and sell it. Nothing more, nothing less. Still looking for similar models and what they go for.

 

Just the bracelet in the ultrasonic right?

 

For this age and type of watch probably the safest. Thanks if anyone has any info on what it is or what era i can't figure it out. Not a single one on chrono24. Educated guess would say '70's or maybe early '80's? ? ?

 

I'd guess at the seventies and possibly one of the 68x calibres such as a 684. These are super little movements being about a 2/3 size cal 565. The 683/684/685 even run at 21600 and the latter is a Chronometer spec. No real value though.

Apart from that, no help, sorry

Cheers, Chris

 

Allright. Will clean and put it up for auction locally. Might be able to get a couple hundred for it.

 

So you have an Omega Automatic Geneve, all the basic information is right there. If you searched this site, you would come across enough information to give you a good idea of what it is. Doing a little leg work yielded this:

Looks close to what you have without the bracelet. And is the bracelet original? Is it your exact model, not sure. Only way to tell what it actually is, is to take off the case back and find the movement number (caliber) and the case reference. As I have recently been looking at these for my wife, in running condition, maybe $150-$200. But as there is like interest in them, it is possible to see only half that amount. Also, it being an AUTOMATIC would mean it would be instantly in for a service which itself could be $200 or more depending on condition. You can see why there is such little interest. You basically double your investment to get a watch worth half the value. Again, caliber and case reference number are need to be exact. Take this information as a starting point and see where it takes you.

Good luck
